I got this picture from altnude.blogspot.com, from an artist called Maria Flores. If you put this photo at the top of your poem, please give credit to her.
Anyway, I found this picture very inspiring and beautiful, and I wanted to see what you found to write about it. I'm not giving any rules. Just look at the photo and write.
Gold gets 400 points
Silver gets 200
Bronze gets 100
I'll add HMs if I think the poems deserve them
I will close the contest if I don't get enough entries, so even if you're not sure where you're going with it, just write. Just go with it.
I do give my honest opinion about poetry, so if you have a hard time with criticism you might not want to enter.
