  The International Library of Poetry will award 250 prizes totaling $58,000.00 to amateur poets in the coming months. Anyone can enter the competition simply by submitting ONLY ONE original poem, 20 lines or less, any subject, any style. All poets who enter will receive a response concerning their artistry within seven weeks. Obviously, the normal HTML tricks don't work here.. so here's the URL if anyone wants to get there.. LOL

  Do they accept prose as well as rigid poetry?

  I did some stuff years ago that I should submit but it isn't "poetry" per se.

  I honestly don't know.. I haven't even read the page yet. Found that link when I was grabbing some Crochet patterns, and thought you all might like it!

  HEY RED!!!

  I didn't put anybody's name after that poem. It could have been mine, ya know......

  It's not - but that's not the point - it could have been.

  hey Kismet

  rigid poetry

  Dare I ask the less-than-obvious meaning?

  Thanks for the tip. I decided to enter the poem 'Marigolds', which I also posted here. Before posting 'Stop Making Sense' here, I had never before shared any of my poems with persons I don't know (and very few of those I do know). After the positive comments here, I feel more comfortable doing so. Thanks again.
