Spiritual Splendour

Now my fellow poets this is contest 21 for me...but it will be my first spiritual contest...

Now for those who know me will know this is not been my style in the past but trust me when I say it is now...

So what am I looking for...Beautiful Spiritual Poems that capture my heart and soul...Make me feel all warm inside...

That is it...Write something fabulous

Dreaded Rules:

1: No swearing or anything vulgar...Please I will remove your poem

2: No chat lingo, sticky caps

3: No erotic or adult poems

4: No cutting and suicide

5: Be kind to your fellow poets and me...Remember I am the one judging this contest...

6: I want to feel your words

7: No more prewrites will be allowed...So fresh writes only my friends

Now I have said what I wanted to now you get writing

Love ya all
Tessa

    My Dear Poets

    I have decided to judge the contest today...I know its earlier then intended but I could not foresee any better entries then I have already received...

    Now on how I decided who the winners will be...I loved all the entries and you will see I commented on each and every one...I chose the winners not by what everyone else said about the poems but of what I got from them...I wanted something spiritual and beautiful I got more then I ever bargained for

    So thank you to all who entered be sure to keep an eye out for my next one...

    Love ya always
    Tessa
