A Literature Competition
Its been a long time since I had a literature competition here on dA, since the first one years ago lit competitions have become much more popular - now there's loads of them! Check out the lovely lit GM's journal (LadyLincoln, StJoan, fllnthblnk and SparrowSong) to find loads more competitions if this one doesn't suit you ;]
The Theme
"The weather"
It can be taken metaphorically or literally (haha) but thats the theme. Remember we accept any poem with even the vaguest link to the theme. So you don't have to be writing *about* weather to mention weather. Think pathetic fallacy, think atmosphere, think tension and sunshine - whatever you want. Have fun with it Lit Critters ;]
The Rules
Visual poetry will be accepted Judges will be eligible to win again, but not allowed to cast any vote on their own piece. (Volunteer to be a judge, click here) Your entry must be sent in a note to me (PoetryOD) All languages welcome but you must provide an english translation so we can study the meaning behind the words as well as the composition and words.

Poetry competition (Ends this week)
Hi guys! I am running another poetry competition (off DA) and thought I'd tell you about it. It has cash prizes (paid via Paypal or similar online bank transfer options) and has some free entry options if you are eligible! It closes in a few days, so if you have a poem that fits the theme (Embers, Ignite) then go ahead and enter, or get writing! More information at www.CandleLiterature.com As we worked on the name CandleLit (@CandleLitPoets on FB, Insta and Twitter) and our tag line ‘Poetry that lights a spark‘ there was a reoccurring image of embers, almost dying, igniting flames like words sparking ideas in the audience at a poetry night. So we decided that we would make that our first competition’s theme, to help you get to know us as much as we get to know you through your entries! You can interpret this theme any way you like, there are no restrictions on that. You might want to go for the idea of something almost dying out, but surviving. The idea of something giving birth
Removal of some of my poems
