The Quatrain City Poetry Contest
Sponsored by
JackHuber.com
Twice monthly, a photo is posted on the Ryze forum, "Wordmeisters,
Poets and Writers Unite!" Members then compose a
quatrain, or 4-line poem, inspired by the photograph. Quatrains
are judged on creativity, poignancy, format (if applicable) and content.
A most interesting take on the photo will also score well.
This will culminate in a Grand Prize contest in which all winners and
runners-up will automatically be entered.
Only members of this Ryze group may enter, but it is
free
to join. Contest rules
are
posted in the forum. This is a wonderful group; please consider
joining in the fun!
For other winning entries,
choose from the menu on the left.

Winner:Diane Stephenson |
Banished
From old gnarled branches tied in a strong topknot
A thin column of smoke chokingly rises above;
In the wilderness a solitary Indian struggles
To survive the harsh land far from home and his tribe.

Warning or Greeting
Silhouetted against the sky,
from afar, a hand raised high.
A warning? Nay a greeting,
for those who come by camping.Copyright ©
