What was the most popular poem to write in 2017? It was the 5-7-5. It's a three line poem with a set syllable count. It's fun to write and challenging. To celebrate the new year and the new 2018 rankings we've announced new 5-7-5 poetry contests. We have a 5-7-5 poetry contest in January (deadline is next week) and one in February, March, April and one in May! We promised more contests and we have already delivered! All have cash prizes. And look for new 5-7-5's in our daily writing prompts. Good luck!

Brigitte Elko: I believe strongly that writers and potentially great writers become discouraged frequently. A club that promotes only positive comments and suggestions of encouragement for the craft would be a welcome addition. Would love to host...

Lisa Rachel Tremback: I am refusing any more reviews. Had one guy who went into my poetry to find a bad one to thwart,because I didn't write a good review on him. I am not into attacks in chat rooms, always have avoided them in the past and now is no different.

| Lisa Rachel Tremback: You can look at my replies. He just had to get back at me for my review. He claims he didn't, but my psychologist husband believes it was an underhanded attack. I am a ptsd victim and don't want to be involved in reviewing anymore if that is what hapoeens.

Lisa Rachel Tremback: Not bad Lisa but you seem to be all over the place with your rhyme scheme. For a person who is quite partial to rhythm thought the set out of this poem could have been better and it was hard to get into any sort of flow with the words.
Some of the rhyming and near rhyming words seemed forced but overall worth revisiting. I think with a bit of restructuring of the verse it could be better than a good poem
dip
This happened after I gave the guy this review...
With respect Lisa it was prose not rhyming verse. Prose doesn't normally have a rhythm to it as there is no rhyme scheme in prose to create a rhythm or beat. If you are at all interested, please visit my other 3000 posting all done in rhyming verse.
I hardly ever write prose as a matter of fact it's probably one of about 5 if lucky written in free verse.
Please show me an example of a poem in free verse or prose that has a created rhythm.
Thanks for the average review much appreciated. I don't think I've ever been given a three so there's always a first for everything and you are the lucky reviewer to do it.

very underhanded, but still it was done.

You asked for more writing contests. We've added more! Three new writing contests with cash prizes have been added to the contest listing. Two of them with deadlines just a few weeks away!
To decide what contests to add we looked at our 17 year history of hosting writing contests to find the ones created by site members that were the most popular. What were they?
The most popular were flash fiction contests. We recently added three flash fiction contests so we did not add more.
Next was a dialogue only prompt. So we are happy to announce the Dialogue Only Writing Contest.
Followed by that was romance. We have announced the Unexpected Romance Writing Contest.
Next was non-fiction. We have introduced the I Remember writing contest.
All have cash prizes. Good luck!
