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:Diane Tegarden |
Regatta
After the third elimination trials,
the rebuffed regatta contestants gathered on the shores
of Lake BetterNextTime to watch the finalists,
while sunning and sipping brews.Author’s note:
A regatta is a term used to describe either a boat race, or
series of boat races. Although the term typically describes
racing events of unpowered water craft, some powerboat race
series are also called regattas.

Shades of Summer
Bright reds and greens, yellows and blue
Alternately blend and contrast in hue
As the frolicking whitecaps rise and fall
And summer breezes blow sweetly over all.Copyright ©
