“The Stumble and Rise” Poetry Contest

What to Submit?

“The Stumble and Rise” – Create a limerick that tells the story of someone tripping over their own feet in a crowded place but laughing it off and dancing instead. The focus can be on the joy of being unapologetically yourself, even when life gets messy.

Any form is acceptable.
