Friends & fellow poets,

I am deep into the reading of your contest verses. AGAIN, the contest filled almost immediately [so much FEAR].

I want you to RELEASE.

Yet, I WANT YOU TO WRITE POETRY.

Please put periods in all but FREE VERSE.

Please DO NOT capitalize UNLESS IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A SENTENCE

OR A PROPER NOUN

OR OCCASIONALLY LIKE THIS FOR EMPHASIS.

Please SPELL CHECK

No matter how touching & relatable the content if you do not give me EDITED, FINISHED work, you will not place in the top ten.

Here is a site that you might want to check out & compare your verse to.
