Contest Description

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 -
