Here it is - my annual poetry contest!

and are the judges for this competition ...

This time, all participants must write a romantic piece of poetry. The poetry must meet these requirements to stand a chance at winning:


* Needs to be at least sixteen lines long

* Interesting and eloquent

* Can be about any aspect of romance (rejection or lust etc)

* MUST be about some aspect of romance!!


Approximately the final deadline is around 20TH AUGUST, and finished pieces should be sent to in a note either before, on or at the most two days after this deadline (22ND AUGUST). Any late LATE pieces should be sent to after a maximum of five days after the deadline (25TH AUGUST). Regretfully, any pieces submitted after this date can not be accepted by either judges and will therefore not be put into the contest.

The two winning poems (YES, THERE IS TWO WINNERS AND THREE RUNNERS UP!) will be selected by factors such as elaborate descriptions of romantic feelings - basically the winners will be chose on account of their ability to make the reader feel as if they can really identify with the situation of the romantic poem. Poems must be written in first person and present tense.

Unluckily as we are pretty short on funds neither or can offer a cash or subscription prize but I'm sure all you poetry authors would be proud to win this competition anyway!
