Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, lyric poem. It should be convertable to lyrics to a song, but since 99% of songs are on romance, to make this contest harder, the topic should not be romance.
Though many songs don't rhyme (or only a few lines rhyme), it helps to have a rhyme in this case, because I'm not hearing music, just reading the poem. Often songs have a chorus that is repeated periodically, but that is not essential.
