Contest Description
This is the third Word Vision poetry contest I am holding on this site. The rules are simple, create one NEW and ORIGINAL poem with a max of ten lines and eight words on each line to give a visual description of what a word means to you. You also have to put the word itself, only nouns, as the title of the poem in its singular form. One more item when writing the poem, you have to have the title of the poem itself somewhere in the first line of the poem. I will show you five Word Vision poems I have written, so you are familiar with what I want to look for in your entries. Another important rule, DATE your poems and DO NOT write your names in your entries!!
