Same rules as usual any form or theme,upto a max of 14 lines No name on your entry

My sole criteria is how your poem reads aloud

Thanks to each& every poet who are supporting these ongoing premiere contests.There are always at least 5 poems that could place in each contest so I have no objection to such poems being re submitted

Brian, I take an old poem, dust off the cobwebs, re-write to my new skill level, seems beautiful to me, put it in your contest, you trash it, then I put in another contest and it wins, so thanks(I think) ~

Constance the difference between these premiere contests anf those of 4 years back is these latest ones have the sole criteria 'how your poem reads aloud'.Also premiere contests allow just 10 places with just one poem per place.Contest 203 was on the 15 September.Thank you for your ongoing support to my contests.

203, that was decades ago (it seems) ... I am no quitter, I will keep entering, you will keep trashing and I will keep entering, so on and so on to eternity . . . because I love dusting off old poems ! Even ones you originally, like years ago gave me first place with, how time changes things ~
