Contest Description
What to Submit?
To enter my contest, write a new Pleiades. Your title must be ONE word, the name of a favorite holiday food, snack, or drink (if not, the poem is eliminated). If you do not celebrate Christmas, make it a winter holiday item such as the New Year's. If you decide to rhyme it, I would probably like that, and if you rhymed it well, you could earn a bonus point! Multiple placements depending on how well I like the entries. Happy holiday feasting, fellow foodies.
If you do not know the Pleiades form, here is a link to its definition as explained at Shadowpoetry.com. http://shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/pleiades.html
My criteria are as always good sentence structure, sticking to the topic, correctness of form and using creativity. (NO AI, please).
Here is an example of my own - how I'd like to see it presented:
Spaghetti
Smell luscious savory
Sauce made of tomatoes
Simmering on the stove.
Seasoned beef with onions
Soon will be added in.
Savor it poured over
Skinny strands of pasta!
