Poetry Soup Contest

Often I look at the contest and cringe Maybe in a style that I have not binged. Sometimes the topic is a banger and my mind is caught on the hanger. Sometimes I do not know which way is lit If I look ideas for the contest to hit. So if consider a contest once in a while my writing ideas might just smile But when I scratch my poetic brain and see a little juice with creativity it is likely I will find words for my next inspirational masterpiece divine.

The reading of this beautiful poem was quite enjoyable. Miranda your poem comes to a satisfying conclusion with a lyrical line that is upbeat and pleasant. There are usually a few contest that leave me wondering what the heck I'm doing!!

I enter those contest in which I know how to do the style they want and the topic. That takes out more than half the contest. Other contest have a topic that I could write about and I get lost for words to say. That takes out half the remain contest, leaving precious few I can enter.

I can relate to that, Miranda! Sweetened with your style. I would like to note that recently I received an e-mail from soup tell us that no contest name, date, or contest title were poems go. In the notes area only. They maybe be deleted.

Sometimes I do enter the contest I see. I am running my very first one right now. However sometimes there are styles of poetry that the contest require that I have never written in that style. At the end of the day though I write what I want and enter when I have a match for what is wanted.
