This isn't your average writing competition. This is Writer's Block. Writer's Block is for poets on AllPoetry who write pretty much, poetry. Whether it be prose, free-verse, rhyme, haiku, etc. I am looking for 20 poets to show me what they got and see if they can make it into the 10 finalists, which ultimately means you have a 50% chance of making it in the competition! Good luck!
There is no prompt for the auditions! Just write! I don't care what kind of style it is, just do it! When entering your poem, I will judge it with this rubric:
Title (how it pulls a reader in): /10
Content: /20
Originality: /20
Emotion: /10
Imagery: /10
Grammar/Spelling: /10
Prompt: /20
Now you will all have a 20 on the prompt, since this is only the auditions, but you know what I mean.
Rules:
-No erotica
-No cliche.
-No boring work.
Also PM me, if you want to help out by being a judge!
Prizes (if you win the entire competition):
Points.
The title of being the Winner of Writer's Block.
A spot on the Judge's List for Cycle 2.
Collaboration with host, xcoldsummer.
Now, there will be points here for the audition, but little, since I don't want to give all my points away!
So have fun and start entering poems!

The Humanoids part 2
in part 1 the astronauts landed on an alien planet met the humanoids who ran a society based on need not private profit
an ideal socialist slump free society where abundance of goods
was an achieved aim, the same thing in capitalist society
caused the inevitable poverty amidst plenty slump
This is contrasted on their return to poverty amist plenty
