peace-blessings ... pay-it-forward ... for all

WELCOME TO POETS AND POETESSES OF ANY AGE

this is a contest based on a concept called « pay-it-forward », initiated by a wonderful young lady here on ap called ellie or
little hug : allpoetry.com/poets/little-hug

little hug’s current contest : allpoetry.com/Contest/2158903

the principal idea is to forward a gift of kindness we have received by someone,  to three other persons, creating a  chain of kindness and compassion …

applied to this contest, the idea is the following :
each one of the three winners will receive enough points to start his or her own “pay-it-forward”-contest and is invited to continue the chain in this way. so, please, only enter if you are ready to host such a contest in return. thank you for your understanding.

I will host three contests at the same time : one for everybody, one especially for teenage-poets and one especially for children-poets.

“peace-blessings” – for all : allpoetry.com/contest/2139924
“peace-blessings” – for teens : allpoetry.com/Contest/2139939
“peace-blessings” – for children : allpoetry.com/contest/2139953

I will offer 333 points for each one of the 3 gold-winners, the 333 points for each one of the 3 silver- as well as the 3 bronze-winners have been generously donated by some of our wonderful poets here on ap. my heartfelt gratitude to all of you .

so now, just get inspired and write :
a poem of peace-blessings - for someone – or for the world …

enjoy …

    thank you, ellie, for having been the first visitor here, and for your encouragement and kind words.
    I thought that a little angel like you would deserve a special background created for her ... here you go, sweet one :

    okay, ellie, since you don't have a membership in order to use your indigo-angel-background, I shall use it to illustrate the contest-page, so you can enjoy it ...

    I am so happy that you stopped by, tangy ...
    thank you so much for your encouragement and appreciation of this contest-idea which touched my heart.
    much love,

    marion

    ps. do you have a photo of a frog (taken by you) ? I would like to make a border for you. I did a blue frogborder for a lovely poetess yesterday, and it seems that my froggy-legged brother definitely needs a frog-border too !!!
