Life's Greatest Lessons Part One of Many

This contest will be on the "positive" aspect of LOVE

Write about how love has affected your life in a positive manner. Whether past or present. First love or last.

Limit of 20 lines...any style...Winner Take ALL...


Part two will be about the "negative" if you wish
to wait for that one...

I've got around 4000 points so will keep running
these until I'm broke. If anyone wishes to contribute
to keep them going feel free to, for I think we could
all use a bit of help a time or two in our lives.

Above all have fun and hurt no one along the way...

she rose in my life
brilliant as the morning sun
a light, to guide me

      giving points to others

      I've got plenty of points right now, was speaking of maybe later if I still want to run even more contests. Currently I have enough for 10 contests or so, but
      thanks for the offer. When I took my break the time before last I gave away around 2500 points. Only a couple ppl even bother to say thanks, so I decide this time to have a contest so they would at least have to do a little work to get them...lol

      Just for general info. The point give info is under
      Help-FAQ at top then link how to give points.
      A direct link is here for future reference...

      But like I said no worry about it at current time.
      Maybe if I don't get all contested out in the future.
