Without the trimmings

Poetry Contest

Write a poem, any style or length, rhymed or unrhymed, without the "trimmings" - no music, video, animation, no artwork or color background, no fancy fonts.

Must be in unbolded, un-italicized plain black font, no large sizes or caps, on a white background.

Let's give everyone a level playing field.

This is how Webster defines a level playing field:

"A situation in which everyone has a fair and equal chance of succeeding."

Of course, I cannot technically ban the promotion, it is up to you - but we all know that highly promoted works get much more attention and more votes.

I want this piece to win on a merit only.

So, let's get plain and let's get interesting.



The contest winner will win half of the prize pool of 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.

Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Tuesday, September 13, 2016.
