Poetry Society of Colorado: My Cell Phone
Deadline: December 15, 2018
Sponsor: Marcel Duclos
Theme: My Cell Phone
Form: Free Verse
Style: Naked Poetry
Line Limit: 40
Prize Structure: 1st $25, 2nd $15, 3rd $10
MUSTS:
1. The poem must be open form (also known as free verse): poetry without any rules for
construction -- so that content (including the theme: My Cell Phone) determines the shape and sound of the poem.
2. The poem must be concise and stripped to its bare essentials.
3. Writing Naked Poetry requires awareness of every single aspect of the poem, so that every aspect has a reason for being there.
SOME POSSIBILITIES:
1. Titles are optional (not required, but no criticism for adding a title, either).
2. Open subject matter: traditional, non-traditional, and modern subjects welcome.
