FREE VERSE POETRY

Poetry Contest

Please write a free verse poem.

ANY theme you like.

IMO, free verse should have NO STRUCTURED line, verse or rhyme format - random is best.

I think, to differentiate from prose, free verse should incorporate at least SOME of the following poetic devices:

alliteration, metaphors/similes, random rhyme, imagery, terse maybe fragmented sentences.

Absolutely NO punctuation allowed, unless capital letters for proper nouns.

No artwork allowed.

No 'author notes' allowed.

MIN 60 words, MAX 160 words.

'Definition' above 'Title' must read, 'Free verse contest entry', followed by the word count - NOTHING ELSE.

TWO colour only presentation - one for background and one for type.

One style of type only, written in straight lines.
