Do you think that emo poetry could be entered in a poetry contest?

I’ve gotten this letter from a college for a poetry contest, I love writing poetry but its usually emo poetry, do you think this would be acceptable in a poetry contest? Also do you think that free form poetry would be accepted?

Yes and yes. Like people, there are many different types of poetry. Some people just like more forms than others, but an emo poem using free verse is perfectly fine.


What does it matter? Art is art, poetry is poetry. Unless you wrote about two emo lovers who ate eachother limb from limb, I think whatever kind of poetry you got is definitely acceptable. :]


Emo means emotional and what is poetry without emotion?

if its in a way as stereotypical emo though it should still be acceptable.
