(Click for Poet Info...)

I was born in a small city, (Bathurst) New Brunswick, Canada, the third eldest of thirteen children, ten girls and three boys. I’m the product of a semi-dysfunctional family, brought up by a physically controlling father, versus a loving nurturing mother. Many of my poems reflect the uniqueness and special circumstances of my upbringing and love of nature.

"Winter" Contest

Blog Posted by Emile Pinet: 12/9/2020 1:33:00 PM

Hello fellow poets, I'm hosting a “Winter” theme contest in any form, from 10 to 30 lines, and I’m offering a copy of the Anthology - “ PS: It’s Poetry” as first prize.

I hope many of you will participate, and display your talents with your best work ...if you already own a copy of this book you may choose to gift it to someone else, if so please provide me with their address.

Lately I’ve had some inquiries about why certain poems failed to make my list of winners, and it usually comes down to reading the rules...they never very from contest to contest:

Rules:
1) DATE YOUR POEM! New Poems Only, submitted on or after posted date.
2) Place the contest (Name and Sponsor) at the bottom. 
3) DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME ON THE POEM!
4) Only submit poems relative to this contest all others will not be read.
5) Be True To The Form Chosen (check syllable counts)
6) True rhymes only no near rhymes... if rhyme is required.
7) Spelling and Grammar count!!!!

All submitted poems must use :
https://www.rhymezone.com 
https://www.howmanysyllables.com  
when checking for rhymes or syllable counts ...no other programs are acceptable.

I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season, Emile.
