Full Moon

The Prompt

It is believed that during full moons, levels of melatonin (the body's sleep-inducing hormone) are altered, which can lead to disrupted sleep patterns and wildly vivid dreams. For this challenge, we want you to draw inspiration from one of your craziest dreams to write a poem. The more eccentric, the better.

In order for your submission to qualify, it must be:

• Under 2,000 words
• Submitted to the Poets community

*All forms of poetry are accepted. There is no minimum word count.*

The Prizes

• Grand Prize: $1,000
• Second Place: $250
• 10 Runners-Up: $25

For your poem to be eligible, it should be under 2,000 words, submitted to the Poets Community, and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Poems published on Vocal and entered into the contest up until January 5, 2022, at 11:59 PM ET will be entered for consideration. Official Rules for the Challenge can be found here.
