I am looking for rhyming poems that may or may not follow conventional rhyming patterns, if they do, I prefer complex ones.. I do not like ABC rhyming, which is at, bat, cat, rat, meaning you go through the alphabet in your head trying to rhyme your words.. Be original in subject matter, writing style, and wordplay and you'll get yourself a few points and a trophy...
Here's an example of a poem that's 'Off the beaten Path'
http://allpoetry.com/poem/439404
I will delete from the contest any poem I wish, this does not mean it was a bad poem, just not what I'm looking for in this contest. I want some creativity, something that will make take a second and a third look... So if it's a pre-write that you enter, maybe enter one that you think is some of your best work, but hasn't gotten the most attention, or doesn't seemed to be understood, some of my best work is misunderstood and I always look for contests that might accept, or understand them... Maybe I'll understand yours, maybe not..
