a little bit of poetry contest
A fun poetry contest to expand your brevity.

Avg Rating: (10)





You might be thinking to yourself, "Not another poetry contest... Why should I enter this one?" I can't do anything about your thoughts besides getting a sponge for my tears, but I can tell you about my poetry contest. This contest focuses on small poems and prompts. For poetry, I view prompts a bit differently: it might be a random poetry form, a random picture, some random words, even a random restriction instead of a random something. If you noticed, I used the word random in all the varying prompts and this randomness will be one of the constants of this contest. The other constant will be my devotion to give quality reviews to all the qualifying entries for each round. So take some time and have some fun the worst that will happen is you might get lost in my long reviews.
