Collapse section Poetry Closed We will gladly read either free verse or traditionally rhyming poetry, but we are not interested in poems which toss masses of meaningless and conflicting imagery at the reader, in the hope that he or she will be able to make some sense out of the muddled result. We expect rhymes and meter in traditional poetry to be neither forced nor strained. Likewise, all poetry, even free verse, should flow well and have a musical quality. As Spellbound is a fantasy magazine for children, poetry should have a strong speculative element.Dates: Rolling Deadlines: Check cutoff dates.Audience:UnknownGenres: Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Fabulism, Heroic FantasyLengths: Poem: Up to 36 lines; Up to 5 pieces.Poetry Forms:Open to all/most Forms, including: Formal verse, Free verse, Rhyming.Styles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Mainstream.Topics:None found.Payment:Semi-pro payment (US$5-49 per poem) Semi-pro payment (US$5-49 per poem).Note: We list broad pay categories rather than payment specifics.
