Convince Me

are meaningful poems produced in these 15, 20 & 30 words exactly contests? I see them all the time and I would like to read some of the winners as well as new ones. (Please, nothing shorter than 15 and no cinquains, haiku, etc. and nothing longer than 30, either.)

I may not comment and do not appreciate anything that includes uncredited art.

I will only award gold as I do not wish to demean previous gold winners.

something great in 15, 20 or 30 exact words?

CONVINCE ME.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 6
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Congrats to Sheltered for convincing me it's possible. I'm still a skeptic, though I know there are plenty of good poems out there that are only 30 words long - I just don't know how you come up with them while concentrating on that as a parameter. Thanks for your participation, everyone!

    This is exactly 20 words but that just happened as I wrote it.

    Have fun with your contest, I'll try to write something new.

    By "new ones" do you mean poems that were entered but didn't receive a gold/ or other trophies? I have a few of the poems you are looking for, but sadly the contest judges did not agree with me on its merit. Boo hoo...can I still enter?

      yes, you can enter one like that or you can write a new one.

    Thank you. I didn't think you could only give one trophy. I tried the other night and it wouldn't let let me and I was quite upset. Probably because i had points put up for the silver and bronze. Anyway, it isn't easy sometimes to keep within the paramaters but other times it seems to actually help.

      yes, you must award the trophies if you have added the points. I'm trying to get away from trophies altogether and just give people a chance to re-air work or be inspired towards something new.

      regarding the exact amount of words thingie, it obviously works for a lot of people.
