Wise Poet's Society Wisdom Contest

 MORE POINTS!!! Gold went to up to 1,200 points, I upped the stakes for Silver and Bronze as well! Now Silver is worth 700 points! Bronze is worth 400 points.
UPDATE... MEMBERS ONLY
(We have removed non group member entries to simplify judging and upcoming activity within this contest! Apologies to those poets.)

Lets have more entries here!!!

OK we have spent most of the summer busy doing summer things and the group hasn't been so active. Let's try to energize the group with a contest. Gold will win 1,200 points, Silver 700 and Bronze 400 points and 4 honorable mentions, the contest is anonymous.

The topic of the contest is WISDOM

Share a poem that has a wise message, or write a poem about all the things you have learned along the way through this life.

If you are interested in joining the group please submit an application. http://allpoetry.com/group/show/Wise%20Poets%20Society

We are an over age 45 group who coincide quietly with some of the best poets on AP and perhaps the oldest as well. LOL

All forms of poetry accepted, if you have a pre-write that fits the topic go for it. What did you learn this past year? Write about it. This is meant to be a fun contest so keep it clean and no cutting or dirty pretty.

Thats about it. Have fun and I will keep this contest going until I choose to close it.

    Dear Dawn,
    Your restriction on entry was not on the contest's page when I entered my poems; wisdom lost.

      Sorry you seem upset about this.
      I must say the intimation that it was for Wise Poets Society and link to join WAS there if you wanted to enter.
      Yes It has been recently Qualified because we realised many did not recognise the Group existed. Sorry to have inconvenienced you. Please accept our apologies?
