Contest Description
Write a poem that’s a letter (poetically) to your favorite poet. Include a suggestion.
Please note: This is not a call for odes or tributes but a request for poetic outreach to your favorite poet—someone to whom you wish to offer at least one piece of advice. The poet can be famous or unknown. Leading quotes are welcome if you choose to use them, but please avoid explaining what the piece is about. If more context feels necessary, consider weaving it into the poem itself. Trust your audience to discover its meaning through the act of reading.
New poems only - from December 6th forward until the contest closes. I look forward to learning about everyone's go-to author.
