Are there any poetry competitions I've missed?
I'm waiting for @poetrytrail to come back with their Poetry Slam. (And not only because I won the last competition writing from a child's viewpoint)
You can also look for contests where a poetry element might enhance your chances of winning. I rather like the Googly Eyes Contest and wrote my first googly eye poem last week.
