Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of .............
What's in a number? The number FOUR. To celebrate the invisible day that will be made manifest this year, write a poem about the number four WITHOUT using the word "four" in the poem. (Those that do will be disqualified.) What does the number four symbolize? What does it look like? Smell like? Taste like? Sound like? There are many examples in scripture, but take it anywhere you like. You can write about one object symbolizing the number four or many. Google is your friend. Any form is acceptable. My example is a bit long winded. Do as I say, not as I do. Please limit to 24 lines. Shorter is better since I have to read many. : ) New poems only.
