This is a PIF contest...as I won Lynda's little quickie...but I am liking the artistry of the overnight ones I have been doing...
So in this contest I want to explore the sacred...like comparing love to a visit to a National Park...where you are in such awe of the subject, you would never want to marr the experience by leaving trash of any nature behind...
so the PROMPT....is LEAVE NO TRACE...the subject is love...any kind of love...or all kinds of love...
You are the artists...and I have to judge...
Make it move me...any style...obviously metaphor is important...and flow and the sound of your words, matters...read your poetry aloud...feel the sound...
I just want love from the awe of Nature point of view...so don't hurt you head...sigh and imagine love as the most beautiful thing you have ever seen in Nature...
any length is OK...but 20-50 lines seems about right
I'll judge when I wake in the morning.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 17, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 300, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: Well this is quite a head breaker....
I have had many difficult contests but this is a mindblower for me...
I brought in three other judges and they all picked different winners...
I I love every one of the poems who made the frinalist list...but after two hours of headache...I have decided to give the thre first place ones all 300 point...as equals in my mind...although...Ap makes you choose...
and the next two places I will send you 200 points pretending that you are equal silvers...and the last two I will send and additional 100 points...pretending you are bronze...
a unique solution...or a cop-out...this was an amazing contest...thanks so much
