Poetry Contest

Create a visual poem with a dystopian theme

This is our visual poetry monthly competition for December 2019. The winner, and any runners up, will get their poems featured on our official social media accounts.

Create a poem as an image.

In many parts of the world, December is traditionally the month of festive cheer, but we do things a bit differently around here! So this month's competition is to create a visual poem with a dystopian theme.

RULES
- 50 word limit
- Your image must include the full text of your poem
- Don't use photos or artwork which are copyrighted by someone else.
- Ensure the text of the poem is large enough, clear and readable even on small devices like mobile phones.
- You agree by entering to let us post your image on our various social media accounts (Instagram etc.). You will be credited by username in the caption.
- Max two entries per person.

HOW TO ENTER
- Create an image with your poem text. This can be plain, or you can include image(s) or a background. Be creative.
- If it's a new poem, then post it on DU using "submit poem". You will need to submit the text of the poem (you'll add the image afterwards).
- Once you have submit your poem, use the "Add Multimedia" button under your poem text to attach the image, selecting the "visual poem" option when submitting the image.
- Use the "Enter Competition" button on this thread, and select your visual poem.

NEED HELP MAKING AN IMAGE?
No problem, we have a group for that:

Summery muse

When golden orbs of sunshine    
kiss your window sill      
and sunlight enters      
like divine floodlights      
and warms you up softly      
glinting upon your knick knacks      
and the decor then shines      
like glittery sequins      
you know      
it's time you stroll to the sunkissed beach      
and let sand and sun combine      
in olden golden shine      
for holidaying kodak moments!!      
Trees offer a background of tinsels      
A sunshiny backdrop for snaps[b]
     
But in tropical places      
the heat of the summer      
can also be a real big bummer![/b]
Swimming pools a lucky escape
from a scorching parched landscape.

The words of the poem must be inscribed on the image itself (use the image as a background with the text superimposed).  Remember, this is a visual poetry competition.

Make truth a lie to bare widespread confusion.
Pled life beyond death a life free of delusion.
Quenched by hopes tears that nourish the soul.
In hearts whose grown weary bitter and cold.
A sense so common so easy to see.
To this nightmarish madness of reality.
