Be A New Favorite II

Looking to add new poets to my Favorite's List...is it you?

Write a poem around the theme...."Why I Write".

*keep to the theme of the jpg and the title of the contest.

*try to write from the far edge of the theme... in other words, make it fresh.

*use of figures of speech and wordsmithing is suggested to develop a deep and enduring read.

*please put your penname in your comments. There is no need for this to be anonymous.

Winners will be added to my favorite's list. While this may be no big deal to some, it is incredibly so to me. Those on my favorites list are mighty pens.

  • Why I Fight
    It lurks between the paper and my pen. / It criticizes, taunts, and saps my will. / It stops me, blocks me, holds me back again. / It can't create, or think, but it can kill. / Resistance is the enemy I face.

    OMG!

    I did not realize that I had earned the GOLD in this contest. Thank you so very much for the honor. I am humbled! Your are a splendid writer. Sometimes I stop by your work, am left speechless, and don't leave a comment because I can't find the words that would adequately express the sensations felt after reading your poetry. For that, I apologize. I have to make sure I add you to my list as well, although I think you may already be there, if not, why not? Thanks again!

    Congratulations to all the Winners and Mentions.


    Much Love ♥
