READ THE CONTEST ...
Please read the contest description because it contains important information. The reason most poets will not place is because they did not read the contest description. Contact me if you have any questions by soupmail. Sometimes it will take a day for me to answer.

POETRY SOUP RULE FOR CONTESTS -
Add nothing to the bottom of your poem, no contest info, dates, nothing. (Optional put in Poet's Notes or at top of your poem.) NO to putting names on poems or in titles, or any identifying mark, no copyright symbols or info.This is a PS contest rule, not mine.
Get creative and write me a beauty !
