Contest Description
Please - no AI generated or adapted poetry. It takes spaces off those who have taken the time to write a poem and is discouraging to sponsors when it's clear the back catalogue is all AI once the poem places.
What to Submit?
Write a new poem using the painting "Strayed Sheep" as your prompt. AKA Our English Coasts
Painting by William Holman Hunt
Not too long but no specific line length limit.
Ensure you have a strong first line.
Anything that isn't related to the prompt need not be entered as it won't place.
Any form or free verse is acceptable.
