Fantastic idea, but 500 words is very long for a poem!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't you write an ode?
ReplyDeleteI agree....500 words is very long for a poem. And yes ,one could write an ode, but it would be good to have the freedom, nay even the poetic licence, to express one's thoughts in the form of one's choosing. I had my (brief but pithy) stanzas written before noticing the word stipulation. Que faire? Any chance of an amendment to the rules for us poets?
ReplyDeleteDear Poets,
ReplyDeleteSorry for my late reply. Thank you for your message. 500 words are exclusively for the stories.
I understand perfectly that 500 words is very long for a poem.
So if you are still motivated to take part in this writing competition, i would love to receive your poems.
