Click on the "Enter Competition" button.  Here is an example of the syllable format supposed to be used:

The Idol Imbibed

Alcohol chosen
Drunkard worship copious
Inebriation



Here is the syllable format:

The I/dol Im/bibed (5 total syllables in the title, though the title can be whatever)

Al/co/hol cho/sen (5 total syllables in this line)
Drunk/ard wors/hip co/pi/ous (7 total syllables in this line)
In/e/bri/a/tion (5 total syllables in this line)



As you can see, 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line.  Please make sure your entry meets the criteria.  Again, click on the "Enter Competition" button to enter the competition.

The Alcoholic

Drunk on swollen pride,
ego sips lies, one by one
glass half-full of self.

Liquid, Soothing

Liquefy my mind
I got nothing else to give
Heathen of mischief

There might be something wrong with being able to vote? I'm not able to vote on a poem. Friends are also unable to vote.

Yeah, isn't it supposed to allow you to select whether to have people vote on the poem or not?  I didn't get that option when I started this.  I plan on allowing the people to vote, if at all possible.

A Beer or two

A beer or two, a simple pleasure,
 To savor slowly, at our leisure.
 The golden bubbles, dancing free,
 A moment of pure joy for me.
 
 The frothy head, a work of art,
 Soothing to the weary heart.
 A sip of bliss, a moment's peace,
 A welcome respite, a sweet release.
 
 In good company or all alone,
 A beer or two, a comfort known.
 A taste of hops, a touch of malt,
 A humble brew, a simple fault.
 
 So here's to beer, in all its glory,
 A drink that tells a different story.
 Of simple pleasures, shared with friends,
 A moment's peace, that never ends.
