wergle flomp humor poetry contest

Calling all you Wergle Flomps! Wergle Flomp is a creation of poet David Taub. Mr. Taub submitted "Flubblebop" to poetry.com's former (and not very selective) contest to see what would happen.

This is a contest for humor poems, not serious poems. Serious poems will not be judged. The poem you submit should be in English. Inspired gibberish is also accepted (example).

In general, poems written with the aid of a text-generating AI such as ChatGPT are not eligible. However, if you have employed an AI in a way that gets really funny results, please email us for a ruling on the eligibility of your entry. You must get pre-approval from us before submitting work that employs an AI in any way. We are looking for signs of human ingenuity.

First time entering? We prepared a brief video to guide you, available on our website.
