CALLING ALL POETS!

Would you like to help grow a space for poetry lovers here on Yoors? Are you keen to share your own original creation in verse with other Yoorsies? This is your chance to do it... and receive some Yoors love in the process! As a way to support poets and their work on this platform, as well as to give back some love to the wonderful Yoors community, I am launching a poetry contest open to all members, regardless of the language they write in and no matter the format or topic they choose. And you can enter even if this is the first poem you write.

There are only three rules:

01

It must be an original

That means you wrote it yourself and it has not been shared here on Yoors before this contest.

02

English version needed

Automatic translation by Yoors is enough, but if you have the chance to edit that translation a bit it will be even better.

03

Share this post

Hit the 50/50 button so that more members hear of this contest and hopefully feel encouraged to participate.

I want to join your contest but I never use fairshare because I want my profile for just my own posts. Is dat a problem?

Thank you so much for your interest in this contest. 🙂 I understand your position on fair share, as I am very selective about how I use it myself. However, even though I would really like you to be able to participate in the contest, since I did set the fair share requirement as one of the rules, I feel like it wouldn't be fair to the other participants to change it after the competition started. I hope you understand. If you are still interested in sharing a poem with us, do feel free to leave a link to it in the comments. You will definitely receive some Yoors love, but unfortunately I won't be able to consider it for the contest.
