Contest Announcement Poem

Since I can’t write
May as well read
And sponsor a contest
For free poetry

Hope you will enter
If it’s your desire
Maybe you’ll find
Words that inspire

The contest is for
20 lines or less no more
I hope it’ll be fun
And not a chore 

Power in the Tongue
Is the contest name
Write away for fun
Poets do your thang

New poems only
Don’t forget to explain
In your words not phony
Don’t use your name

I’m enjoying rhyme
But you don’t have to
The style is yours to design
Good luck to all of you

Though I took part in your contest, I hadn't read this. Through your poem, you have given clearly all specifications in a semi humorous way. It has been a great idea. Loved your rhyming poem, dear Karen.

I’ve got a notion for your contest, Karen…. But it’s a bit ‘out there’ so we’ll see what we’ll see. Enjoyed this ‘invitation’. Terry
