1. No hyphenated words or personal names may be used for a title. Names of countries, cities, states are ok.
2. Use howmanysyllables.com to check syllable counts.
3. No vulgar topics or profanity.
4. Your poem must make sense. If I can't understand what you are saying, it won't place.
5. Do not put the word "Pleiades" in your title. Only one word should be in title.

I have found N to be a challenging letter. I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.
