A Note to Poetry Contestants
This contest is open to ALL but I would particularly love to
see entries from those who: have never tried/were afraid to tackle a sonnet.
Since there are few restrictions, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Give it a go!!
English Language
Poems should be in English. Poems translated from other languages are not eligible, unless you wrote both the original poem and the translation.
HAVE FUN!!!
