Horror Sonnet
Poetry Contest
Write a poem in sonnet form featuring a horror theme.
It doesn't matter if it's an Italian (or Petrarchan) Sonnet, written in iambic pentameter, a Shakespearean Sonnet, or a Spenserian sonnet. Any formally recognized form of sonnet featuring a horror theme will be acceptable. The topic you chose to write about is left completely up to you. Sound effects, musical scores, artwork, additional pictures and/or animations may be included in your posts--heck, if you can create smells which waft out from our computer screens to assail our nostrils--by all means, go for it!
Above all else, just have fun with it.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 60.00 member dollars. There are 6 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 5 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Sunday, December 6, 2015.
