A Contest for Metrical Rhyming Poetry.

A new  contest header.

Do you love writing rhyming poetry? Poetry is the music of the heart and soul.
This contest will focus solely on traditional poetry using meter and rhyme. It is through those devices that we begin to feel and hear the beat of the poetic heart.
