It may have already been mentioned but I don't recall. Are there genres of poetry, other than prose, that is frowned upon for posting in the NaPo? More specifically, sensual erotica. Nothing rude and crude.

I had to dig through the rules, but here we go:

====================

Acceptable Entries & Writing Prompts

While we do provide prompts that are available in the adjacent NaPo Prompt Comp competition ( likewise beginning on April 1st ), you have the complete freedom to write about anything you want!

You will not be disqualified based on content or quality - with the exceptions of plagiarism; if we discover that you are merely swapping the wording in pre-existing poems or copying entire poems, you will be notified AFTER the competition that you will not be receiving the trophy.

However, PLEASE use common sense! Your poetry, unpolished or otherwise, is a reflection of the overall talent being fostered by DUP. We would hate to see outside readers, potential members or even publishers turned away by material meant to garner attention purely from shock value.

====================

So, you are good to go!

You're welcome.

I thought I had posted it along with all the other rules, but I seem to have overlooked it.

So I added it to them.

Lyrics are just poems without the music!

Of course you can do whatever you want on your poems submitted through your account.
