Have you tried googling? This is the first hit I got when searching for "memorizing". Seems about as complete a list of memorizing techniques you can find.
Hey look, Japan made a movie about me!
...Sorry. I forgot I needed a poem and not memorization tips. I did google some ideas for poems, but that didn't work all that well. It needs to be by a well-known/semi-well-known poet/author.

You make absolutely no sense, how is it a national poetry contest, if you’re reciting someone else’s poem? I mean, that contest must not be taken very seriously if that’s the case. Also, you must be pretty lazy if you can’t just Google a famous poet. I could see if you asked us to suggest a SPECIFIC type of poem or poet you were looking for but otherwise, you could have looked it up yourself.

You make absolutely no sense. For this poetry contest, you must recite a poem, not make up one and send one in. And yes, I am lazy. That doesn't mean I didn't look for one myself. That doesn't mean I can't simple ask if someone might have known of a poem off the top of their head that they could suggest to me.

I don't really get it. . . =___=;;
So you recite a poem and done? Is there a prize?
Ah well, but you can try some poems from Shel Silverstein, I haven't read much from him, but I remember in class where we one or 2 poems by him. . . ^^
Or maybe Dr. Seuss. . . I don't know if you think it's so kiddish and stuff. . . So you could always try Google to find some poets! =D
Anyways, good luck! ^___^
Actually I made perfect sense, so I will say it again. Why even bother calling it a contest? And you are lazy. Does that make sense? Or should I call you up and say it very slowly for you?
Anyway, I would have to say the same thing as the other guy, since a lot of songs actually start off as poems; you just have to have an ear for it or just pay attention.

I personally love Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - he has a lot of very nice poems, some of them may be 15 lines. I've memorized a bunch of his poems, and they are very nice. Good luck! ^^

I am not calling it a contest. The people who run National Endowment for the Arts & Poetry Foundation presents:Poetry Out Loud's National Recitation Contest do. So don't bring it up with me. Am I already admitted I was lazy. Or did you not see that? I wasn't really sure. There is really no sense to be made out of this because it is what it is.
And songs don't count for poetry.
And THANK YOU! Finally and answer that means something. I'll look into him seeing that you suggest he has nice poems.

I like Robert Frost, he's my favorite poet. If I'm not mistaken he has a lot of short ones that should fit what you're looking for.
Love is a three season search.....
Wow, a contest where you recite someone else’s poem. That says a lot about you.
Imagine if you actually WON, That would feel like such a huge accomplishment that you worked so hard for. You would be able to give yourself a pat on the back, for basically just knowing how to read!

Just go straight into it. I start off with memorizing one line and then getting that thoroughly memorized and then i move onto the next sentence and do that for the rest of the lines.
Stop trying to "remember it", just empty your mind and keep reading it. Hope I helped a little.
Go find one of Shakespeare's sonnets and memorize one section each day.
Or, mimic the style of a famous poet and write your own.
And yeah, it sounds like that contest is kind of lame. Find a real contest that asks you to write your own poetry. Or, even better, find one that makes you do it on the spot.

PSA: If you're going to bad-rep me, do these three things.
1. Learn which one is bad-rep. Green=good.
2. Grow a pair and tell me to my face. Average amount that I check reputation: About once every three weeks or so.
3. Sign the bad rep. At least have the guts to announce that it was you.

Unless it's for a communications class, I can't understand why any teacher would make you recite poetry for a contest. It not only stifles classroom creativity, it basically discourages kids from writing their own work. Besides, every national poetry contest I've ever heard of (and most that I haven't) have wanted original poems.
And honestly, my local "on the spot" poetry contest was the most fun with words I've ever had.
