Just to remind folks that the current Tipsy Muse Contest 6 is in progress and we don't have many qualified entries up to this point, so the odds are pretty good. But PLEASE read the guidelines before submitting. The entries are posted and sent to the judge anonymously, so any poem that's been workshopped on the forums is automatically disqualified. If you send me poems that don't meet the criteria you'll get a rejection PM saying "better luck next time," or words to that effect. Only one entry per member per contest will be considered, so if you blow your chance you blow it until the next contest.

To make the criteria more visible, I'm posting them below:

The Tipsy Muse

Quote:
Topic #6:

"A rhymed and metered poem of fewer than twenty-five lines that uses one or more familiar sayings, or variations thereof, in a novel or humorous way."

Final Judge: Thomas Carper

Have fun amusing The Tipsy Muse!

Just a couple of weeks left to amuse the Tipsy Muse with your light verse entry for Contest VI! The odds are good at this point, because we have very few qualified entries so far. But do please read the guidelines before submitting. I have to disqualify four out of five entries because the entrant didn't read or chose to ignore the criteria.

Lighten up, folks!
