Contests Poems

Mouldy Fear Fugue

  
she drinks mouldy fear in morning 
the morning needing vit C vit C
team Alice alliterates twig pieces to be 
to be sprouting green leaves true blue 
sweeping bits onto dustpan hue true  
grit to cubes which only they read heed 
using time making dough row seed
painting faces so cute for pic to

FYO Using A I during contests

Just wanted to make a few things clear for my fellow poets 
If you are going to use A I, to write a poem for a particular 
contest, then be sure to let the sponsor know by adding 
A I on top of your poem, so the sponsor of the contest 
can then decide whether

Using AI in soup contests - Inspired by Unseeking Seeker’s and Tania's blogs

Your cheating ways, you've sunk so low,
to win contests - that isn't right.
You've used AI, few sponsors know
Your cheating ways

MY ideas form, it’s time to write,
(Unlike AI, my brain is slow)
When poem’s done, I feel delight!

But AI wins, it's quite a blow
It's unfair and I feel uptight
We're NOT blind sheep, I want to show
Your cheating

Brian Strand Contests

Nice simple pithy poems

The Prismatic Self

I say the word and feign a Freudian slip
From between its legs duplicities drip
Often doubling as a quip and tasting chalky, just a bit
History will record the troubling truth
that I never existed if I don’t submit

I’ll submit this thing as if it’s a soliloquy
while being transparent with reverse psychology
When transparency is brutal it packs a

When Glenn Hughes Contests Reigned

The contests started slowly
all in appreciation of Glenn Hughes

Only a few would enter 
using inspired words so eloquently 

But in due time the Glenn Hughes contests 
caught on fire
and everyone was scrambling to enter

The contests filled up so quickly 
I as judge had to breathe deeply
to concentrate

It came a time I didn’t have to remind

Poetry Contests I Do Not Enter

write the most depressing mournful doleful macabre missive
make sure it is less than one hundred words

write something you would be embarrassed to write.
make sure it is less than one hundred and fifty words.

write a poem about something you did that you are ashamed to
tell anyone in less than two hundred words.

I am not in the

one point

He stands, mocking, full of his worth
and crowned by stinging opinion
He’s won. By one.

‘Not even one whole point’ I want to say
to everyone - ‘by a rounding error.’

We rejoice in wooden dialogue
snaps are fired, content is captured
I feel ridiculous and awkward

As the great pageant ends,
he leans in, in a hugging action
but I will not grow

Poetry contests

we have been asked to police
contest entries for plagiarism 
relying on unproven software
sponsors are expected to comply
to make judging somewhat fair

perhaps we need to introspect
why are contests floated at all
is it not to cajole poets to connect
sharing hearts musings intimate
that all be in their ink bliss flecked

is our story merely borrowed glory
how low has fallen

Poetry Contests are Fabulous

I like poetry contests, because it is terrific to imagine what is being sought.
I especially like the ones that have made up words, guidelines, and artwork.
they are a delightful challenge to me and they give me incredible new ideas.
I like seeing how many greens I get before a gold pop up, it amuses me.

I especially

Poem writing used to be my hobby

In sorrow, I turned to writing verse, 
To ease the pain, my heart immerse. 
Love, nature, family, and spirituality, 
Themes that flowed, with sincerity. 

Years passed, inspiration took flight, 
A hundred poems, crafted with might. 
Retirement brought idle hours to fill, 
Isolation and pandemic, a bitter pill. 

Poetry contests sparked excitement anew, 
Learning the craft,

On Contests

Limits should be set
in many situations,
contests being one.
Better, however, are by these:
sensible, clear instructions.

A Lighthearted Peek At The Apocalyptic World Of Poetry Contests

This contest style’s description is one I’ve never heard
I’m unfamiliar with that particular word 
An internet search comes up empty 
However, others seem to have poems aplenty 
My eyes are getting blurry a total collapse seems imminent 
Quickly penning an entry appears to be the only way out of my predicament 
My freshly emerged imposter’s

Scarred by poetry contests

be authentic
be true
to the song
playing in your heart 

there is no need
to contract consciousness 
by betraying the muse
reverberating within

imitation as flattery
scars the soul
recognise and celebrate 
your uniqueness
