-Place the title of the quoted poem, the poem's 4 lines quoted, and the poet's name, above your poem.
-The 4 lines of the poem quoted become the last lines of your poem like this:
Line 1 is the last line of your first stanza
Line 2 is the last line of your second stanza
Line 3 is the last line of your third stanza
Line 4 is the last line of your fourth stanza
-Each of your stanzas is 10 lines long
-There are no hard and fast rules about syllable counts or rhymes. However, there are no variations in the format allowed either.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 35.00 member dollars. There are 11 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars.
