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!
The current winners are
posted below. For prior winning entries, choose from the menu on
the left.

Winner:Ayoub Bangroo |
Concrete Misdeeds
Concrete misdeeds stand high,
even dark clouds put to shame,
can not we give them a bye-bye
and let oaks and elms replace the same?
