Write Your Best Darn Poem!

Poetry Contest
Never Won A Contest
I wanted to celebrate winning POM by providing my fellow FanStorians who have yet to win a prize the chance to do so. So write the best darn poem you can. No limitations on subject, style, or length. But please, make it a _poem_. A sentence is not a poem even if broken up into lines. Sayings, aphorisms, maxims, admonishments, advice, and declarative statements are not poems. The poet's tools are many and varied--metaphor, simile, assonance, consonance, etc.--and you are encouraged to use them. Be bold and be brilliant! This is all about craft and imagination--give it your best! As an added bonus I pledge to give the winner an extra $5 member dollars.

NO IMAGES FOR THIS CONTEST PLEASE--LET YOUR WORDS DO ALL THE WORK.
This is a Winless contest. Only authors that have never won first place may enter.

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 10.00 member dollars. There are 13 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 36.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.

Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Thursday, December 14, 2023.
