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:Pushpa Moorjani |
Come Back Soon
Since nineteen eleven, behind mosaic so bright
await I, with bouquet of fruits and flowers by my side,
come back soon while the flame still burns hot,
love in abundance craves for its first speck of light.

Forbidden Fruit
Restriction within paradise does not suit
where everything is in abundance;
better not tell me about forbidden fruit
lest I fall to splendid ignorance.Copyright ©
