Can You (Me Too) Enter a Poem Into The Winter Holiday Contest?

[Virtual_Burlesque]

Possibly Two Questions:

(1) The title question.

If "Yes" goto (2)

(2) Would anybody volunteer to read my ballad* just for scansion and sense, no poetic involved (Before, during, or after composition.)



* A ballad only if one gets the L s'out.

Burley, you can only enter a "poem" if it is over 750 words long, and you submit it as a story.

You can't actually submit poems for the contest. You can (if it meets the word requirement) set it out to read as a poem, it will just get submitted into one of the story categories.

You can only enter a poem if it's long enough to post as a story (and then you do so)

I tried a peom for the Halloween Contest, that's how I found this out. (Link found in sigline for any interested)

If the poem isn't long enough, consider including it in a longer fictional work, or using it as the introduction to a longer fictional work- OR I suppose if you include an essay with it, you could include it in a non-fiction work. Hey- those are some good ideas. Wish I had thought of that earlier.

Charley...........Scarlet Pimpernel !!

I haven't forgotten.
Obtained a little information for you, but I've been a tad unwell since I got back Saturday, so haven't had time to write it coherently.

Tomorrow, I hope.

SIGH!

Thanks, guys.

I don't see how I could make it longer. It's a spoof, based directly upon an equally short work.



How'd that song go again ...

"Knockers Up!"

Yeah! That's the ticket.


P. S. Thanks, matriarch.

I suggest writing a humourous satiracle critism of the poem, as though the author of the peom is taking it very seriously and doesn't realize that the poem itself is satire. Have them compare it to the original unfavorably and complain about it being a 'rip-off' of a superior poem. GIve it a Headline title like "DownNose Poetry Review Weekly: December Edition." Plus of course an article headline, and a poem title then submit it under Humour/Satire.

That's my suggestion.
