The Future of Poetry Is Written Today…

Every generation believes they are at the height of civilization. That they have conquered nature, mastered innovation, and shaped the world in their image. But history tells a different truth—a cycle of rise and fall, of dominance and decay.

The February 8th Publishing Prize was more than just a contest. It was a call to poets everywhere to put pen to paper and capture something profound—a moment, a reflection, a truth that will outlive us all.

Among countless entries, one poem stood apart. It wasn’t just a poem—it was a mirror to the past, the present, and the inevitable future.

And the Winner Is… Who’s Turn Is It Next? by

The Winning Poem:

This wonderfully written piece invites us to look beyond ourselves, beyond our era, beyond our fleeting claim to dominance. It is a poetic prophecy—one that urges us to consider what we leave behind.

Every entry = One tree planted.

Through this initiative, we proudly contribute to One Tree Planted’s global reforestation efforts, ensuring that poetry not only captures the human experience but also gives back to the world that sustains us.

As we unveil this winning poem, we also open the next chapter—a new contest, a new opportunity, a new voice waiting to be heard. Could it be yours?
