STACH POETRY SLAM CONTEST --- EPISODE 1

in #stachpoetry • 6 years ago


I've always had a say
In how my light will burn
sometimes it makes me pay
for every wrong turn

Poetry as we know it today has really gone through series of evolution, so much so that a lot of the old timers think we have diluted it a little too much with our 21st-century madness.

There were days when poetry was used solely for the purpose of romance or to pour out very deep emotions that stem from the soul of the writer. These days most people have really abused the beauty in the art of literature and this bi-weekly contest aims to correct that, bringing poetry to what it used to be.

NOTE TO THE WRITERS

Now I very well know that you have the right to diction, but also remember that this is a contest and we will very well pick the best of the best from all of the submissions. That being said you should note the following:
