This is a contest for my favorites ONLY! I have never had a favorites only contest, and it is far time I do so. I have had the pleasure to read and appreciate so many of you here on AP; that you have become a part of me, a part of my heart - and this contest, my dear friends, IS ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!

My writing has become more enhanced, in a way I would never have imagined, and it is because of all of you! It means so very much to me to hear your thoughts on what I write, and to know that there are those out there that can actually FEEL some of the ink that falls from this pen...

So - there are no real rules, What I want is 'you' - a piece of who you are to others, or how you see yourself and your writing. A piece that displays the emotion that has intrigued me, a write that can help all those who haven't read you to understand why to this poet you are GREAT.
I will say I -PREFER- fresh writes, so the newer the better!!!
Also, please do not enter anything I have read previously from you - since you are all indeed, my favorites...

If you are not already on my favorites list, please do not enter!!!

+++PLEASE TYPE YOUR NAMES INTO YOUR AUTHOR'S NOTES, SO THAT I KNOW WHO YOU ARE+++

Good luck all,
I look forward to your entries!!!
~Wendy~

    Wendy...

    Thank you for the invite...I am honored by you to be placed among the many fabulous poets here on the site...I find it hard to write about myself. So what I decided to do was write a fresh piece to show a little of me through a simple writing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

    Hello

    I'd like to thank you for inviting me to this contest and providing me with an outlet to well, let something out.
    Though I see the odds are quite stacked against me here. Tsk tsk, oh well the oppurtunity's there, why not take it?

    This picture has a Raven in it !!

    Hmmmmmm.....(very personal thoughts), this fellow Raven could be either an ally or an enemy.

    Anyway, forget about it, that was just me.

    Now for this (great) thing Lol, believe me I cannot relate to it, I have never been great, and it's not a way that I use to draw attention, it's the truth.

    And as regarding me giving off something to tell who I am,....
    well let's say it won't be any different than what I have previously offered (anger. spite, hate, revenge).
    Which makes me kinda guilty after your (you inspire me) line.


    So here's the thing, I'll do my best, but my tortous tongue has naught but darkness in it, not a simple trace of love.

    Thanks for inviting me in,
    Be well,
    RD.
