The Victorian Poetry Contest, intended for young and rising poets, concluded last month with over thirty submissions from different youths around the country. The competition was tough, but one poet's poem stood out for our editors.
The winning poem was "The Leaf's Secret" by Johnny Riley. Riley submitted his poem to us, and under the recommendation from one of our formerly published poets, we put his poem into the Victorian Poetry Contest. The result was a unanimous vote on the poem by our staff to be the one we accept.
The poem will be published here on our blog in a few weeks, and will also appear in our next issue of Poetica Victorian. Come back here soon and check out the beautiful poem by Johnny Riley.
