Summer Poetry Series Contest https://i.ibb.co/WGy8QV2/Congratulations-1.jpg Hello hello hello! Me and @lliyah are hosting a Summer Poetry Series Contest ! While writing one poem can be a lot of fun, trying your hand at a whole poetry series can be a really fun excercise too! In order to help you come up with a cohesive series three prompts will be offered for the contest! Poets can submit their poems one at a time, or all at once. Three winners will be decided upon. With three different prompts during July, poets can stretch their wings and launch into summer! Beginning on the 3nd and ending on the 30th, to enter poets must submit three poems that follow the three prompts: Prompts Poem One - Sunburned Poetry Form - Free Verse (there are no length, or rhyming, or form requirements, just write a free-verse poem using the theme) Theme - Since Light takes around 8 minutes to reach the Earth from the Sun, if the sun burned out it would take 8 minutes for us to notice. ( Source ) That's your prompt for Poem One! Poem Two - Beach Day Poetry Form - Must Use Rhyme! You can use a structured or unstructured type of poem for this one, but your poem must utilize rhy me at some point in your piece. Theme - This poem must reference water at least once, it doesn't have to be a major theme, but it does need some sort of reference in there. Poem Three - Travel Log Poetry Form - For this poem you have some options, these types of poems all have something to do with the way a poem is arranged on the page rather than what sound devices or rhythm are used! Your poem must be a Concrete Poem (also called a shape poem) or can be a Prose Poem or it can be a List Poem (ie. a poem arranged in the form of a list). Theme - A travel log is a document that contains all the details of your trip and can take many different forms, the form of this travel log will be your poem! You can interpret this prompt in many different ways, and it doesn't necessarally have resemble what a travel log usually looks like in any way. ~~~ Prizes: First place will receive 250 points and a doodle courtesy of either me or alliyah. Second place will receive 100 points with a complementary doodle, and third, a doodle. Deadline is July 30th. Best of luck, poets! Let us know if you have any questions!

Congratulations, everybody! There are so many cool poem sets from this contest!

When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.
