Hello all! Time for everybody to get their rhyming pens out! For October contest we need to write four line stanzas in which at least every other line rhymes and almost any other rhyme pattern will be acceptable. You free versers, it's time to try out rhyming poetry for a change lol. The subject is your favorite time of day or night. No limit on length (but Do take pity on judge) and a two stanza minimum.So-------------------------stop reading this and get to writing lol.......stan

Those who win a monthly contest will have their winning poem given special consideration for being included in the upcoming book of poets from this site. The yearly winning poem is guaranteed inclusion............stan

Just a heads up that any who are still thinking of entering that the period for accepting new entries ends on the 24th. Also, I've been a bit surprised by the good turnout this month............stan

May more folks like you
Walk he earth
we hope the world
will be a better place to live
and so many will say
Stan had the will
to share the entire bill
we gasped with awe
how only Stan saw the future of Neopoet
we all are selfish only
look at Ian and Stan
they are the two pedestals
upon which Neopoets can stand

During the last few weeks I have streamed 17 pieces.
On all of those 17 I have received about 32 comments as to how the work is and replied 32 times.
This is an average of 2 comments for each of my pieces as I have been writing here for many years and each day have given support to many poets I find that there is need for a change.
I spend nearly 3 hours a day on Neopoet, but am now stopping.
3285 Hours approx. later, I have given much more than I should have, if you thin I am wrong about stopping let me know.

Basically I'm stuck with my writing...so I've decided to just read stuff for a while and maybe comment (yeah yeah I know, should be critique)...get off social media, get stuck into activities and hope to spark up my imagination. Feeling a dullard, intellectually not cutting it. Need help...

Time to start thinking about Sept. contest. All that's required is a poem about Sept. being a month of change. free verse or rhyme and try to keep it 7 stanzas or less. The contests seem to be losing interest on site with a low number of entries the last couple of months. If you wish contests to continue then the number of entries need to increase. 3-4 per month is not representative of the talent here........stan
