K...
*UPDATE*:....again, chya sry ppl, it might take me a while to judge these, so please dont judge them for me, itll take me like two weeks or so (restricted internet time)
thanks
*Update*: I mishandled the points, so i deleted the old one and posted it again
chya sorry bout that.
This contest is about cancer...
NOT symbolically, i want it literally.
No where in your poem however does there /have/ to be the word cancer. If its about cancer, it'll do. Most preferably lyrics, but they don't have to be.
I want them symbolic, they have to have meaning. If your not going to enter something meaningful, if your going to write something cliche, don't bother entering. I don't want anything lame, nothing sappy, nothing that'll remind me of old Greek Tragedies. I don't want to get the feeling that i have jam between my toes and in my lungs. None of that. If you want it to hurt, make it hurt with a pang instead of sap right off, and of course, please make them interesting.
I've got this friend...his mom passed away half-way through January. So...
In honour of the Kim family.
*300 points for first*
*200 for second*
*100 for third*
I'll think about giving anything else out.
*REMINDER*: first place will have to wow me, move me, have me catching my breath. I'll look for symbolism, I'll look for word usage, all that other crap. Anything short of that won't get that far. Have Fun!

I pray for the day when there is no cancer. I've been praying for that day for a long time. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write on this topic even if my submission is depressing - joanne
