I've made this more complicated than it needed to be. Just a few more moments, please. I'm very sorry for my string of missed deadlines.
I've been too lazy to write any new poetry in quite a while. A kick in the pants like a contest is just what I need now!
A critiquing contest sounds v-e-r-y interesting.
Nothing wrong with therapy. And sometimes the best therapy is sharing a poem and getting comments back on it.LOL. I wrote part of a poem not too long ago. The first in may years though. And I would be very hesitant to share it here since most people's reaction would probably be...
Dude... you need therapy.

jesus, the impatience of you people...
Another advantage of the review is it's third-person, as opposed to critique, which I think of as second-person, and possibly more personal.
Here's what I think:
- a review/critique contest first. One (or two) set poems; having two might give opportunity for a compare/contrast discussion. Guidelines for the review - more scene-setting than rules.
- a poem contest next, the idea being that our senses are heightened by the critical exercise.
