Submit both new and old pieces of your awarded or non-awarded poetry.

Poetry Tree
Important Rule Change: PLEASE READ!!

Poem entries will be broken up into TWO WEEK ENTRIES. You may enter both weeks for a better chance of winning the Grand Prize.

After the first two weeks are up, I'll judge the contest to decide the winner and the runner-up. Both winners will automatically be entered into the Grand Prize contest at the end of the month. The same rule applies to the second two-week period. You have a better chance of winning the grand prize if you are entered into the Grand Prize Contest both times.
*Bigsmile*

You may enter only once per Two-Week Round, for a total of two poems per month.

First Two-Week Period, ends at 11:59 PM, WDC Time, April 15th.
Second Two-Week Period, ends at 12:59 PM WDC Time, April 30th

New Round Begins 12:00 AM, following the prior contest ending.

The rest of the rules stay the same.

If you have any questions, please ask.
