The Best Short Poems (#9)  August 17, 2012 - December 16, 2012

This contest is meant to challenge you to explore an element of life while limiting the space you have to do it in.

For the aforementioned reason, poems can only be a maximum of 12 lines.

I am looking for poetry that sheds new light on natural landscapes and makes fresh commentaries about social situations. Originality is key to winning this contest.

If you need any inspiration, take a look at previous contest winners. Here are links to two of the contest that I feel produced the best work.

Focus on imagery, structure, and sound.

P.S: keep it to 12 lines guys. This contest is meant to see who can get the most meaning into that space.

Have Fun!
