Worthy?

I'm in a dire need for good poetry. 

I want you to be on my favorites list. 
Write me something great.

This is a top ten contest.  And if you fall out of the top ten you will be deleted/notified and you are welcome to enter again.

I want good poetry.

Any genre.

Any length.


The people that win will go on my favorites list.

If you would like a prompt (not mandatory) ask me.

Thanks.

Danielle

    I don't know what to say...I'm not exactly good at this " thank you " thing but what I will say is that you've made my day and possibly late weekend. Really there were some incredible contest entries and I think just that you held this was wonderful. Thanks for giving all of us poets a chance to shine.

    Always ,
    James
