Contest Description

What to Submit?

Enter a poem you have entered in another contest, in which you were given a N/A or it placed low and you consider it a blatant injustice. 

Rules

1) Any form – I am usually not fond of prose
2) 10 line minimum, 50 Line Max
3) No Names
4) No poems from any of my previous contests
5) Poems uploaded to PS on 04.01.17 or earlier
6) Avoid Homophone errors *
7) Avoid Cliches *
8) Correct spelling *

* unless used for effect – remember ‘effect’ is subjective, so if you use these and I don’t get it or agree, it may result in lower placement or N/A.

WARNING : Entering this contest may result in you being screwed again.  I try to be fair when judging, but I do have bias concerning style, not so much with the form (other than prose).  I have tried to clarify this bias somewhat by including certain rules in my contests.

Prizes

1-15 potential placements
