Poetry Contests

Some poetry contests have distasteful and uninteresting titles.
Poets should encourage others to write uplifting poems.
Many authors and critics do not have a sense of good writing.
Sometimes the judges unfairly judge the poetry contests.
All entries should be given the same opportunity to win.

Some members of websites form online friendships and cliques.
They promote favouritism and ignore the work of other poets.
When the host of a contest requests a public vote,
The members of the cliques vote for each other’s entries.
As a result, the best compositions do not usually win.
