As the contest title says I want a poem written in tribute to Terry Fox.
A little background:
25 years ago he started his walk across Canada to raise money for Cancer research. He had cancer himself and because of this he was an amputee (he only had one leg) He didn't make it however because he died before he was able to finish but he was very dedicated to his dream (of walking across Canada) many people told him he wouldn't make it and he set out to prove them wrong.
This year, there is a loonie ($1 Canadian coin) circulating commemorating his dedication and his trails on this 25-year Anniversary.
This is a man who truly deserves to be remembered by us poets, especially if you are Canadian, if you aren't you can still enter but before doing so do some research.
I am looking for great poems for this.
There will be no rules except one:
No SticKY cAPs
no other rules because I trust you won't write erotica... and I don't see how that would be appropriate.
Okay, I won't bore you any longer...
Get to writing!!
