Please do not feel disheartened if you did not win, or were not selected to be published this month.
It may be due to the overwhelming amount of poetry submissions we receive that we did not manage to read your poem in time for this month’s poetry contest. If that is the case, you may still have a chance to win next month’s poetry contest.

You are welcome to enter a different poem into our next free-to-enter poetry contest!

Always keep writing!
