Contest is Over

  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Thank you EVERYONE for giving me such wonderful poetry. I love the fact that all the hearts opened differently. Some hearts saw darkness, others, lights, some saw joy, then there was the sorrowful heart. That';s what happens when we expose that thundering organ that is our lifeline.

    1st Place Gold - 300 points
    cadence The title says it all. Beautiful!

    2nd Place Silver Trophy
    Listen! Sometimes that's all we need to do.

    3rd Place Bronze Trophy
    Waves of Life This poem just washed over me.


    Once again, thank you Everyone. All entries were superb!


    Much Love ♥

    When I opened my heart

    this is what i hear.
    mylove dripping into a puddle at my feet
    like a faucet with a tattered washer
    no matter how hard I turned the handle
    it would not stop because my heart
    was broken.
