All Winners and Honorary Mentions will be eligible to be included in future anthologies.
 
Any type of poem is welcome! Formal or informal, long or short, rhyme or free verse—we like all kinds of poems. Results will be announced within three days of the contest end and posted in the contest winners' forum. 
 
Each week's winner will be selected by Poetry Nook's editorial staff.

'We study only medicine without hospitality'
