Do not directly describe the image!

Free verse.

Between 4 and 20 lines only.
Poetic tools welcome.
Experimental and abstract, yet purposeful format also welcome.
Cliché not welcome.
Check spelling.
No IM talk, nor offensive poems (including swearing and 18+)
Put your image inspiration choice number in authors comments.


Failure to follow above rules will give you automatic disqualification.
This was your only warning.

 

If I like your poem on the first read, it will be automatically put into "finalists." When judging time arrives I'll reread ALL poems to ensure all deserving entires are placed in "finalists." I'll then eliminate as necessary to reveal the winners.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 19, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 40, Bronze: 20
  • Final notes:
    This was a great contest!

    Without sounding too "sad" when commenting I think I picked up the key image (3) and the sand image (5) were the most popular.

    Anyway congrats to the winners. Thanks for everyone for entering!!

    Keep writing.
