2015 Random Word Poetry Contest


Readers are invited to submit a poem that uses all the following words. These sixteen words have been randomly selected. This list poses a challenge because some of the words can have more than one meaning. The word masks, for example, can serve as a noun or as a verb.

clear
masks
southern
speck
luminous
son
course
scent
flashes
clipped
scales
oily
patched
rival
wrenching
settled


The poem must be at least 12 lines in length and must not exceed 30 lines. Some of the words may be used in the title.

The contest is for all ages. Students are especially encouraged to submit poems. This is an opportunity to built your publications list. Submit your entries by midnight November 30 to Editor: aproeditor@gmail.com

The top 3 poems will appear at One on OneWrite and Publish! (formerly Students, Publish Here!) the first week of December.
