Let your words shine

The poem you write needs to shine with a winning smile and
at the same time, knock upon the door of my heart and make it open
to a bright moment.
The category used may be Love, Hope, Spiritual, Nature and Other. What I DON’T WANT : Dark, Sad, Self harming or Suicide poems. I also don’t want to read a very long poem.

Things to keep in mind:

1. NO sticky caps or chat lingo
2. NONE OF THIS
3. NO profanity
4. Background and fonts need to be readable
5. ONE poem per poet
6. I reserve the right to remove poems that does not follow the rules
   or enters a poem that  I don't want.

What the winners will receive:

First:      Gold + 300 points
Second: Silver + 200 points
Third:    Bronze + 100 points

Like in my first contest there will be honorable mentions and I will applaud poems that I like. I will comment on each and every entry when its close to judging time, so please be patient. Last but not least, I want to thank everyone who enters this contest  

Now go write that winning poem..

NOTE: Though I'm allowing pre-writes..I would like something fresh

    Thanks very much for the silver! I'm glad you liked my poem. It was a philosophy I've been trying to find a way to express for a long time so thanks for giving me the opportunity.

    Take care,

    Mark
