Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of ............. Still the One
Couplet form only
Hello, welcome to my first contest! In honor of my anniversary this will be on the theme of 'Still the One.' I'm looking for poems about a lasting, loving romantic relationship (at least 10+ years) and the number of years should be mentioned somewhere in the poem. It can be tender, loving, sweet, and affectionate teasing is OK too. I just want it to be from the heart (please avoid sarcasm or heavy-handed irony). It needs to be a minimum of 10 lines, maximum of 20. Couplet form only (I know it's cheesy but couldn't resist!) I have posted an example called, of course, 'Still the One.' Because it's my 13th anniversary I will place 13 poems - no more, no less.
Good luck and have fun!
