The Quatrain City Poetry Contest
Sponsored by
JackHuber.com
Twice monthly, a photo has been posted on the Ryze forum, "Wordmeisters,
Poets and Writers Unite!" Members then composed
quatrains, or 4-line poems, inspired by the photographs. Quatrains
have been judged on creativity, poignancy, format (if applicable) and content.
A most interesting take on a photo may also have scored well.
This will culminate in a Grand Prize contest in which all winners and
runners-up will automatically be entered.
Contest rules
are
posted in the forum.
The current winners are
posted below. For prior winning entries, choose from the menu on
the left.

Winner:Maya Mahant |
The Train
The train of memory chugs down the rails,
a journey through life's hills and dales.
Azure sky, the autumn of life draws close,
and dark clouds make for a sunset grandioseCopyright

Like Trains
Steaming forward, into the unknown,
children's innocent trust,
forward, onward into future,
we step back and remember our tracks.Copyright
