Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of
Spontaneity
Line of inquiry:
"discarding narrow thought flow crutch
we learn directly by soft touch
and what we garner we relay
to the vast void in childlike play
entwined thus with the universe
we dance without need to rehearse"
Disclaimer: My contests are about addressing the line of inquiry primarily. Of course, poetry comes into play too provided the inquiry is investigated in earnest. It would be preferable if the line of inquiry is inserted either at the beginning or at the end of the poem, to maintain focus but it is not compulsory to do so.
New poems only, minimum 10 lines, any form. The contest title is your poem title. Dive in deep! Enjoy!
Any form is acceptable.
