Haiku Poetry Contest
A Haiku is a poem that also only uses three lines. But usually it's focus is nature. There is also a little flexibility on the syllable count. Cash Prize!

Take A Photo Poetry
Take a photo of anything. Write a poem about it. This poetry contest demonstrates the creativity and sometimes great emotion a photo can bring. Cash Prize!

Prose
