Show off your rhyming skills
A call to all area poets: The Daily Pilot is holding a poetry contest, with the winner earning a place — his or her poem and credit line — on our front page.
The only requirements are that you be a resident of Newport Beach or Costa Mesa and that the poem be no longer than 30 lines.
Poems will be judged by Editor Brady Rhoades, a published poet, and interim City Editor Michael Miller, a published poet who runs a poetry book press.
We’re looking for imaginative, lively, well-crafted poems touching on any topic fit for a family newspaper.
To enter, send your poem to Rhoades at brady.rhoades@latimes.com. Include your city of residence and contact information. Deadline is Sept. 7.
