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.

Frozen to Stillness
Frozen to stillness, watched city walks by,
heart blooms hearing laughter under the blue sky.
Come, let’s join them through this alley, we must
break off this stoned life to release our lust.

Myth of Life
Myth of life eludes me
years passed, but could not yet own;
can`t now understand what I see,
am I alive, or carved in stone?Copyright ©
