How To Win A Poetry Contest
Write a poem
give it a confusing title
do not have it make sense
use a lot of obscure words
reference some philosopher
some line in a book
that shows how scholarly you are
use symbols
use metaphors
use drugs
make sure the poem does not rhyme
they hate rhyming
wander all over
make sure the meaning
is as obscure as you can make it
sign name
submit in duplicate
enclose entry fee
with extra tip
commend the editor
for his brilliance
ask about his degrees
order one of His books
sucking up
is always a good tactic
self-promotion is a lot of work
more work than the poem itself.
