The Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department and the City of Modesto’s Poets’ Corner Committee are pleased to offer an Annual Poets’ Corner Contest.  The contest is open to all Stanislaus County residents and offers two categories for poetry entries:

  • Any kind of poetry on any subject, rhymed or unrhymed.  Free verse and form welcome.  Group of three haiku accepted as one entry.
  • Special Kindness and Connection” How do we help to heal the divisions between people, ideas and beliefs?  How can we be kind, or make connections with each other, even when being compassionate is inconvenient, uncomfortable or even dangerous?”
