Holistic Junction is excited to cordially invite you to our Poetry Challenge Forum! Each week, we will offer a new literary venture in which you may participate!

Our Current Poetry Challenge will begin on Sunday, January 9th, 2005. Winners will be announced the following Saturday, January 15th, 2005..

All poetry challenges are sponsored each week beginning on Sunday, with entries being judged and announced the following Saturday.

A Weekly "Blue Ribbon" Winner will be critiqued and chosen from all Poetry Challenge Entries. Winners will have the honor of being displayed for the ensuing week on our "Weekly Winner's Page.

Additionally, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place winners will receive HolisticJunction.com's premiere "Certificates of Honor; which you may download and print for personal and public display.

*******************************************************************************

To ENTER this weeks' Poetry Challenge, please submit your poetry through normal submission protocol. *In addition to your own, unique title, please label your submissions with the word "Challenge," so as to be included in the weekly judging.

*The Poetry Challenge THEME for Week Beginning January 9th, 2005 is:

*** MY HUMAN PET ***

***Please have your entries submitted by 06:00pm EST on Friday, January 14th, 2005.

*Entries do NOT have to be titled with the theme, however they must relate to it in some form or fashion. ***ADDITIONALLY, we are looking for a comical twist to this theme.*** As most of us have had animal companions like dogs, cats, fish, birds, etc. who have inevitably become our 'human' surrogates, Holistic Junction thought it would be nice to pay tribute to our sometimes funny 'human pets.'

Holistic Junction looks forward to reviewing your Poetry Challenge submissions, as we are positive they will all be fantastic! Be sure to subscribe to the Poetry Challenge Forum Thread so you will be automatically notified of new, weekly challenges!

Good Luck!

Holistic Junction would like to extend our warm appreciation to every poet who entered our poetry challenge. Judging was very difficult as we had several, competitive entries that were very well written!
