Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of, What was I thinking.. I recently wrote a poem entitled, "Between the Lines". My challenge, is for you to pick one line from that poem and write your own poem. The line you choose will be your title. Your poem must be a minimum of 8 lines and a maximum of 16 lines. Your poem must have a set rhyme scheme. No free verse or prose..I am looking for poetry. I realize your choices are difficult but I also know how talented you are.. This is my very first contest and depending on how it goes, may very well be my last. I will be judging blind and I'm telling you right now, this is not a popularity contest. I consider everyone here as a friend, so all submissions will be given the same weight. If you like, you can try to explain what you think I was referring to or you can just go wherever your muse takes you. Spill ink! I'm expecting some very creative poems. Most of you know, I usually think out of the box. Think poetry!!!...........
Any form is acceptable.
