Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of
Prior to intent
Line of inquiry:
"heart sets up a vibration
echoing as wordless intent
mind translates in symbols
flight of our soul’s ascent
is intent then a stirring
of soul with God conferring"
New poems only, minimum 10 lines, any form. Dive in deep! Enjoy!
Note: No AI please. I will be employing three engines to check each poem for AI. They are Scribbr, Quillbot and rewritify.ai. If two out of these three engines say the poem is AI, then it will be disqualified. Perhaps the engines are not infallible and maybe human written poems get disqualified by employing this process, for which I apologise in advance.
Any form is acceptable.
