The Kudos Poetry Competition has only TWO rules:

1. Write a short poem in no more than 50 words, on any subject you choose, in any form or in free verse.
For those who would like a prompt, here is an interesting photo prompt from @quoll.

Your footer says you're looking for reasons to vote for witnesses. The Writers Block has several witnesses working hard for writers on the platform, including me (under the Sircork witness,) Swelker101, anarcho-andrei, and others.

Hi Rhondak! Yes I know;) I already added you guys as witnesses after the PYPT at the Ramble server. I will add Sircork to my footer. Thanks for joining the contest!
