 A poem that makes the reader feel something. Choose one of the following prompts:

1/ Moon

2/ Memory

3/ Rain

Minimum: 14 lines, Maximum: 25 lines

Will judge seriously as always—imagery, originality, language, emotional impact, musicality, structure, and ending—but the prompts themselves will be much easier.

Only New Poems: starting 9/2/2026—No AI (I will check and use AI to judge), and no plagiarism.
