Contest Description

PLEASE READ THE CONTEST REQUIREMENTS

Multiple placements.

Write a NEW poem FOR THIS CONTEST ONLY on the theme of ONE only of these words ...

Echo

Enduring

Empty

(do not change the word)

Any form. Except for I Don't Know or Other which to me are not forms of poetry.

Make your poems beautiful, dark, sad, deep, meaningful !

Important **TITLE IS FOUR WORDS EXACTLY including the chosen word

If you choose rhyming form (which I love) it MUST HAVE a distinct pattern, NOT a few lines that rhyme, here and there please don't do this because I will not unravel your puzzle !

The NO'S -

NO double spacing, NO all bolded poems, NO all capital poems. NO, NO, NO AI poems (Yes I check on 3 or more AI detectors). NO sloppy poems, NO poems with empty white space at top or bottom. NO old poems accepted. No poem about war, politics, extreme sex, hate, extreme religion. No poems with notes on the bottom.

ALSO-

Check your spelling, grammar, Grammar Checker on PS is very effective for this. Check rhyming if used which can be true and/or near rhymes but your poem must clearly rhyme with an easy to follow pattern. Check your syllables if used for a chosen form, it can be PS Syllable Counter or HowManySyllables, and the PRESENTATION on the page is very important to me ! Please if you cannot center don't. Make sure you are following the rules for the form you have selected according to the forms listed on PoetrySoup

Optional, you can add a quote at the top of your poem that relates to poem, if yours put by poet, if not mention writers name

Optional, you can add images, video, audio, that relate to poem.

POETRY SOUP RULE FOR CONTESTS -

Add nothing to the bottom of your poem, no contest info, dates, nothing. (Optional put in Poet's Notes or at top of your poem.) NO to putting names on poems or in titles, absolutely no to any identifying marks! No copyright symbols or info (after contest judged of course go ahead. I Do)

Get creative and write me a poem !
