A challenge if you dare.

A challenge if you dare.

An idea for a challenge for those interested in being read. A challenge or a dare where poets write and the voting is fair.
I'm calling out any and as many to take on the write in a monthly challenge. Pretty easy to let the only the entry's vote count and any others can just leave comments on what they like or dislike. No write no vote but wise words left behind can sway a vote. Winner gets the big Smile of the month and as or if the challenge rolls on a super challenge gets the really big Smile.
Shootout begins August 1.

Min words 25
Max words 300
Subject - Win/Lose

This is a challenge not a complex contest. Just load yours words and bring your best.

Stand up and stand out poets!
I'm in for August 1!
Just never know when you can knock one out of the ballpark!

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
