call for POETRY

RE: call for POETRY

I checked out this site, as I enter several poetry competitions per year,

and the $25.00 entry fee for this on-line poetry competition is ridiculously high.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of literary magazine competitons
from universities and major cities that cost anywhere from $10.00 to $18.00
for up to 5 poems.

I advise staying away from poetry contests, especially on-line competitons,
that costs $20.00 or more for entry.

Peace and Light,
dah

RE: Call For Entries

This is interesting: The OP member "klyne" who posted this "call for entries" for this on-line poetry contest has deleted their call after I investigated the site only to find an enormously high entry fee.

Beware Of Poetry Competition Scams, Frauds, and Con-Artists, that could cost you hundreds of dollars per year with no chance of winning.

Stay Away From ON-Line Poetry Competitions That Are Not Free.
There are so many that are free with prize money and publication,

like "Original Poetry.com" offers.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
