Today marks two months to go until entries close, so I just thought I'd send you all a quick reminder. You've still got plenty of time, but I just wanted to make sure that nobody has forgotten!



Any questions, let me know.

Sign me up ^^ I don't have a preference for any poems, so I can be given the first poem you find.

Check out my novel shenanigans.
Or request a review from me.

I'm going to -- gulp -- do a contest. And this one seems pretty cool, so. I'm fine with anything you PM to me, even if I am jumping on the bandwagon a little late here ;D

Hm...I think I'll go ahead and sign up for this.

I'd rather not have a poem about death/dying, but other than that I don't care.

That sounds pretty cool. I am into it :wink:
could I possibly request something by Derek Del Barrio?

Hello lovely entrants! Pinging you for your 'one month to go!' reminder. Entres are due March 31st
Spoiler! :


Because the final submission date clashes with that of the YWLJ, I am willing to extend the deadline for this contest slightly, although that might potentially impact how long it takes for me to do the judging, due to school.

If you're in favour of a let's say two week extension of the deadline (from March 31st to somewhere around the 14th of April) please comment below.

Looking forward to seeing your entries!

I'm in favor of a one week extension but you announced this contest months ago...
And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations

@Holysocks @Gravity
I'm suggesting the extension mostly because of the YWLJ date clash. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't. If I hear any more I think I might change the date to the 6th April.

I am in! Can I choose a poem of my own choice or is it given by @TriSARAHtops ?

@donizback I give it to you, but you can request a specific poet, theme, etc.
