This is a contest on precisely what the title says
- - Angels [&&] The Afterlife - -
Angels:
Are they all good? Are they beautiful, amazing, precious and awe-inspiring?
Are they all bad? For example the Angel of Death, are they twisted and deceitful? Are they evil? Have they fallen from Grace? Switched from God to the Devil?
Can they be both? Can they be flawed like humans. Is that what they are, humans with wings? Can they have good intentions and still make mistakes?
Basically any poems on angels, if it is something unexpected, different, individual or plain extraordinary then you have a good chance of winning something shiny, so Good Luck =]
The Afterlife:
Heaven: What is heaven like? Is it pearly gates and white clouds? Is it what you want it to be? Does it even exist? Tell Me
Hell: What is hell? Are you in your own personal or metaphorical hell? Again, does it even actually exist?
Purgatory: What are your sins? Are you willing to repent for them?
Reincarnation: What would you be in another life?
These are just ideas, any poems on The Afterlife would be appreciated. Anything brilliant, unique or inspired has a good chance of gaining a trophy, so Good Luck =]
Alas, one more option, I don't expect many entries in this one, but I will include it anyway. It does not have anything to do with the two previous options
Exams:
I have GCSE's coming up very shortly and I am worried about them (even though I probably shouldn't be). So tell me do you love exams or loathe exams? Reassure me it will all be OK, or scare me into revising pronto! Also if anyone out there can tell me if your days at school really are the best of your life or not I would appreciate it! Of course if they are good enough they will be judged against the other categories and have every chance of winning a nice little trophy =]

- Final notes: Well firstly and most importantly, thank you to everybody who entered. This contest exceeded all my expectations and was bloody hard to judge! I wish I could give out more Golds and Silvers rather than the BogeyTrohpeys because a lot of you deserve them! This has been my most successful contest, getting more entries than my past 3...put together!! So thanks again to everyone who entered, it was a pleasure to judge and to read all of your work, a great belated birthday present too! Plus I have made some new friends as well which is always nice.
Gold: Within The Midst Of Angels {just pipping Rumours Of Angels, I thought it was unfair to give the same author two trohpies and he agreed so that's good} - Rakerman1
Silver: God's Smallest Angel - sassylilpoet
Bronze: I'll Wait For You - Sewasham
And then a plethora of honourable mentions!
Thank you again to everyone. Keep writing and take care! x love to you all x
