Okay, this competition is getting off to a real slow start, so ....

as I have done in the past, I am changing the rules.

(I can do that because I am the BOSS)

So here is how this thing is going to work.

For a ten week period, we will be announcing a new Poetry Style each week for you to submit your poem to.

Only one Poem per Poet will be accepted for each week. 

If you miss any week, you can submit the Poem at a later date and it will be accepted.

So if you miss Week 1 and we are on Week 5 ...

no problem. Send us your Week 1 poem and we will post it.

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

ALL POEMS MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING FORMAT

OR

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE POEM

********** FORMAT ... (example)**********

Week # & Style ... Week 1, 12 Line Poems

Screen Name ... PoetsPub

Poem Title ... Do it Right

Poem ... 

Lets have fun

Lets have a blast

Before you know

10 weeks will past

So get in those poems

Please, do it right

Make our job a little easier

or your poems won't see the light

PLEASE FOLLOW THE FORMAT PROPERLY

At the end of the ten (10) week period, there will be a two (2) week period for all Poets to send in any straggler Poems they may have.

Then the competition will close and the judges will announce the winners to me and I will post a full list of all the winners.

Each week style will have a separate winner. 

(In the case of a Poet winning two different weeks, they will be given credit for the win, but the second place winner will advance to the Poem Write Off. I feel this is fair.)

Please check back to this page each week for the newest Challenge, which will be posted on each consecutive Sunday for a ten week period.

Also check for any changes to the competition.

As always if you have questions....

PLEASE ASK ......
