A $1,000 grand prize is being offered in a special poetry contest sponsored by Golden Poets Guild, free to everyone. There are 50 prizes in all totaling $5,000.
To enter, send one poem of 21 lines or less to Free Poetry Contest, 1600 31st St SE, Rio Rancho, NM 87124, or online at www.freecontest.com .
The deadline for entering is May 31.
Poems may be written on any subject, using any style. "A typical poem," says Contest Director Joseph Mellon, "might be a love poem, or nature poem, one that inspires the reader."
Be sure your name and address appears on the page with your poem. For a winner's list enclose a return envelope.
