Write the Poem That Wins $1,000!
Writer’s Digest has extended the deadline to their Writer’s Digest Poetry Awards competition to November 21. As you may have guessed from the bold statement above, the winner will receive $1,000 cash!
The winning poem will also be published in a future issue of Writer’s Digest magazine. And the winning poet will receive a copy of the 2015 Poet’s Market.
Even poets who don’t win can win, because there are prizes for 2nd through 25th place as well.

Here's my attempt at a Timely and/or Timeless poem:
"Deja Vu"
Feels like I've been here before,
written here before, seen you
before, and it's awkward being
here again, writing here again,
seeing you again, and not knowing
if I've been here before, written
here before, seen you before,
and well, you know, or you don't.
