Did deep into your honesty and find YOU

I am very interested in how deep my fellow poets think.
Do you feel you deserve to go to heaven?
Do you have strong values?
How do you see others compared to yourself?
Have you had a near death experience?
Have you seen spirits?
How do you value yourself as a friend?

I would love free verse poetry on these matters of self expression and exploration.

Pull out all the stops and be wise and clever with your message.
Tell me who you really are. Not what you put out as a cover. Be HONEST about yourself. It's a good chance for you to let it all out without fear of rejection etc.

I will be judging on presentation, spelling, content structure and I am really looking forward to your entries. I f I guess who you are...Bonus points will be coming your way. hehehe

I am closing this contest after 15 entries.
