March Poetry Contest

Details

This month we're going to try something different. Instead of short stories, this month's contest will be featuring poems, and instead of a general theme, we're providing you with a picture for inspiration. See the picture of birds in a tree to the left? Your poem should somehow feature an element from that picture. It doesn't have to be specifically about the image, but it should include elements from the image. It's as simple as that... be inspired and put that pen to the paper!

We'll be accepting poems of any length and any genre.
