Welcome to the almighty Poetry Contest! This is the continuation of the last contest I held. If you are looking for that contest to retrieve your entry, or review the winners, the old contest can be found here
Check out my Profile!
Deadline:
August 7th (One week) -More specifially, 12:00 pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time Zone- The prizes should be announced within a couple of hours, if not instantaneously.

Prizes:
1st Place: 1000 gold
2nd Place: 500 gold


Entry Fee:
25 gold
(Send trade to me, titled by the title of your entry. All entry fees will go straight to Annetia towards the progression of the guild. At the end of the contest, prizes wll be awarded and the fees will go to Annetia.)


Rules:

All pieces must be entirely original (In other words, plagiarism is illegal).

You may submit a poem that was previously entered in another contest, unless that piece won (It would be unfair to the other contestants if there was a poem submitted that was proven to win another contest). And it has to fit the outline!

Keep the poetry within the pg13 boundaries (If your little sister couldn’t read it without suffering permanent trauma, then it isn’t allowed)

Post your entry here as well as sending me a copy via PM. If you make any alterations to your poem, send me the revised entry and I will accept it provided the contest has not ended. Entry might be missed if you don't pm them to me

Do not flame, degrade, or talk rudely of another contestants entry.

On occasion I might include a required word in the outline that must be in the poem.


Those are the basic rules for the contest. Here is the outline for this specific Contest:

Outline:

Haiku week!
- This week you must a Haiku. If you don't know what a haiku is, it is a short three lined poem. The syllables vary, but the ones I want you to make will be like this.

Five syllables
Seven syllables
Three syllables


Example:
This is a haiku ,
Observe the rhythmic wording.
Perfect sense.

Poem must include the word: Perfect And please embolden in the word so it is easily seen.

Absolutely no swearing.

Try not to stray towards the dark and depressing poems that no one can understand.

There is no theme I want you to stick to.


Don't forget to title your Haiku!

Winners will be announced when the contest is over.
