Letter from the editor

The resurgance in trends of purposefully bad poetry contests has me wanting to make this newsletter a tribute to the eye-gouging, skin creeping genre that is intentionally bad poetry.

What's so great about the bad poetry contests? Entrants are required to exhibit their worst and test their boundaries by not taking a serious approach to the contest. You want your entry to be funny, sick, twisted, and generally to make your readers' eyes bleed with its reading.

Not only that, but with a 1 star rating requested for each of the entries, it gives you the chance to have fun reading the poems, as well. Instead of spending hours writing reviews and trying to figure out what you do and don't like about a poem, you can enjoy the purposeful faultiness of the poetry.

In fact, I like bad poetry contests so much, that I have my own folder dedicated to it: "Invalid Item" Open in new Window..

Oh, and if you enter one of the stinky contests I've listed below, you just might get a visit from ratingsfairy! *Wink*
