Write a Poem About What You See Here

Come from the heart
of the spirit and write.

That's the only rule.

Suggestion:
Pray before you write.

Points for every poem
written.

I'll  comment after I judge.

Thank you.

  • Contest was judged on April 23, 2006
  • Rewards: Gold: 500
  • Final notes:
    This one was very hard to judge. I reread poems many, many times. Asked opinions from poets I respect (including the one whose pictire you wrote about...Carole Dudley...one of my all time favorite writers). Thanks one and all. I'll distribute 40 points to every submission that didn't Cup...

    I think she is sick. Shes also at peace with death. She continues to smile for the sake of others. A gentle smile can go along way

    i was going over the contests, and i saw this one. i think you have an amazing idea. i really love the picture, and i believe there is much one can write about. so far i saw that many writers are focusing in the eyes. :-)
    i plan on reading most, if not all of these. i really like this contest
