Okay, new contest! Pick a number, any number, from 0 on up. No limit. Reserve a spot and wait for a title or quote, and then write a poem based on that title or quote. If you get a title, it is going to be most likely a book or poem title, it doesn't matter if you haven't read it, just write a poem based on what you think of that title.
There is no length limit, and I don't care if it's rhyming or unrhyming, but I'm expecting good quality from both. I like thoughtful, metaphorical poems that don't state what they mean baldly.
I won't comment on the poems until it's actually time to judge them, I feel it's fairer that way.
