Hi Soupers!

I finally decided to dive in to hosting my first poetry contest, and I hope people will enjoy entering it! It is about using colloquialisms, words and /or phrases used in common speech to express emotions, sentiments, slang, etc. I think it will be fun and hope it will challenge the amazing talents of all of you poets out there!

I welcome you to enter my contest, and truly look forward to reading all of the entries!

Happy writing. Go for it!

Laura :)
