Have you ever felt like there was something missing, but you just aren't sure what it is? Write a poem about that.
No pedestrian rhyme.
No purple prose.
Show- don't tell.
Imagery and metaphor are what I look for, so if your poem does not have imagery and metaphor, it has no chance of winning this contest.

Danna Hobart many said no bother thinking more than oh brother for you so to speak
thank you for noticing what I had, and though my bounce wasn't right you let me sit down with a bronze at the finish! I didn't denounce the need to edit, just learning how quickly you go from comment to end -- and fair as that wasn't the commencement range for writer ha-ha. I did feel iffy if I made it too emotionally as only mine~
I'm glad you clearly felt quality poetically from everybody. Your charitable request for us to look at your other contests may be just what I need; I've done a piece for your 'open bar' but was wondering if it would be corresponding for you. However with style clarifications I'll check if it's closed.
second focus I should catch up here too,
