Aim of the Game

Whether you are taking a break from your own flow, or you desperately need pushed over the writer's block edge...this poetry challenge is for you. All of us coming together and sharing our versions of how the dice speak to us, is what makes this weekly challenge so great. I hope the roll of the dice will continue to be an inspiration for you and the ones close to you. Cheers! And thanks for all you do in 2018!

Rules

1. Create a poem using the 9 images on the dice (above).
2. All 9 images on the dice must be referenced at least once, each, in the poem. [Images are interpreted loosely. How you interpret (or assign the image meaning) is up to you and will not count against you.]
3. Make a post from your poem and use “poetrydice,” as your first tag.
4. Label your entry clearly. Include "Poetry Dice Entry:" in your title, so I know it's official.
5. Drop a link to your post in the comments section (below).

Deadline to enter contest is next Tuesday at Midnight PST (UTC-7)

Winners will be announced weekly

Hosts

Dedicated to offering genuine feedback and constructive criticism, @robyneggs and @rensoul17 are the two poetic judges of the contest currently. If you would like to guest judge, please drop us a comment or reach out to us on Facebook.

*Disclaimer: The winners are based on the entries which the judges think are the best. We are not saying anyone is a bad poet, we will not say that. Instead, we seek to offer you our encouraging and supportive feedback as a fellow poet. Our opinion takes into consideration many things that can add or subtract to the value of a poem, including:

• grammar / Does it make sense?
• flow / Are there any unclosed loopholes that leave me confused?
• rhythm
• rhyme
• imagery / Can I imagine the pictures the words paint?
• feeling / Does it cause a reaction?
• and emotional pull / Do I suddenly have an opinion?

Bonus

Use the "onehumanbasket" tag to get my 100% (real person) upvote.

• Use the tag "onehumanbasket" on photography, art or other types of posts besides poetry. Posts using both "poetry" and "onehumanbasket," however, will remain higher priority vote, since I wish to curate the poetry community specifically.
• I also host a weekly poetry dice contest. Official entries to the Poetry Dice Challenge 3000 (PDC3K) will have the highest priority vote. Please only use the "poetrydice" tag for official entries to the contest. Abusers will be flagged.
• I also curate posts using just the "poetry” tag.
• Any left-over voting power gets used for highly selective posts that I hope contribute to the "onehumanbasket" feel. (This includes nonsensical dTube videos and my own posts.)
