As a result of our poll, you have chosen the topic for the next contest to be "Autobiographical".

Here are in a some general guidelines:

It has to be based on a true story from your life, though it is totally acceptable to speak about it in a symbolistic, sarcastic, fantastical way. Make your story fit into your genre of writing.

Your poem does not have to include your whole life story, unless you are talented at condensing.

Max 60 lines. We understand you've been around for quite some time, but lets try keep it a readable length. Too many long poems and noone will get through them to vote.

If you have an old poem you think suits the category, go right ahead and enter it.

One entry per writer.

Contest Deadline is July 15th. Voting will start on the 20th.

SEND US YOUR ENTRY IN A NOTE. Actually, send us a link to your entry in your gallery, please.

That's it. Write Away!
