Contests : Wergle Flomp Free Poetry Contest : Examples
The Wergle Flomp Poetry Contest is inspired by Wergle's creator, poet David
Taub. Mr. Taub has submitted various absurd poems to poetry.com's former contest to see what would happen.

One of our 2003 Wergle Flomp honorable mention poems, "The Most Exquisite Corpse", elicted fawning sales pitches from both poetry.com and Noble House. The latter had presented itself as an independent international publisher, but was in fact just another name for Watermark Press of Owings Mills, Maryland, the parent of poetry.com. Watermark Press went out of business in 2009.
