    For any of you that enjoy writing poetry, I thought this would be a great contest. I love writing, especially poetry, so I am going to try it out. Hopefully one of us can have some luck at it!

    That sounds fun I write poetry and I would like to join. I hope that my poems are good enough to compete with everyone elses. The $1000 prize looks good, and I'm going to enter just to see what happens. Thanks for posting this racechick79.:)

    I'm a good writer, but when it comes to poems I'm kind of at a loss. Either way this a great contest, good luck to all of those who enter!!!

    I wander lonely as a pixel,
    Drifting past the potholes and black holes of cyber space,
    I would rather that I excel,
    At making supernovas and death stars at a better pace.

    So, what do you think? Do I stand a chance?

    Go for it Victor!! I think you have a better chance than I do.
    I can't write poetry very well at all. I do have a good friend who likes to write poetry so I'll mention the contest to him the next time I see him. Thanks!

    If anybody does find more of these types of contests, please let me know! I love poetry; and others have told me I am good at it (unless they are just being nice to my face!!!) We shall see. I know we could use the prize money!

    I don't write much poetry, but I do like this contest, because it's free entry - as are all their contests. So many writing contests ask for an entry fee, which is why I'm selective about entering. Call me cynical, but I tend to think it's a profit-making exercise for the website, rather than a way to uncover new writing talent.
