Welcome to my second competition! This is a poetry competition and anyone can enter.

This contest will be open for a maximum of ten people and you will have till the 6th of October to write your poem, no old poems, please. Judging will begin on the 7th of October and results will be out about a week after.

Poetry can be any format, any style and any length from three lines up to one Wattpad page. The only thing I do require is that you pick one of the following prompts to put in your poem (it can go anywhere, though you can add something before or after it you cannot break up the prompt.) All ratings are welcome.

You do not have to claim a prompt nor tell me what it is.

Prizes: First place will be able to pick 3 prizes, second place 2 and third place will be able to pick 1 prize.

Your pick of prizes: A shout-out from me on my wall, a poem co-written by me and you that I will share on my page, an edit on one piece of your poetry or a full critique on one of your other poems or short stories (max 4 pages).

When you have written your poem you can post a link to it in the comment section and/or dedicate it to me. Please write 'Nyhterides' Poetry Competition' in the title.

I will judge on the flow of the poem, the imagery and the vocabulary and everyone will get a mark out of 20.

Good luck and have fun!
