TheOtherKLM Monthly Poetry Prize
I think I am finally ready to host my first poetry competition on TheOtherKLM. I am doing this on my own, with my own time and money, so please be patient with any kinks that need ironing out during this first run. I plan to grow and learn with you. What matters most to me is simple: I want to inspire creativity through these efforts and give your words another place to find an audience.
A quick note for legitimacy
I currently host regular poetry contests on AllPoetry and will continue to do so. This new monthly contest is simply an extension of that work. I want to give back more directly to poets, so I am building a prize-supported contest space here as well.
Prize
The winner will receive a $25 cash prize, funded personally and delivered via PayPal through KLM Digital Media.

To begin, I am keeping things simple and asking for short-form poetry. It’s my favorite form.
Short-form poetry uses a limited number of lines or words, relying on precision and carefully chosen language to create impact.
