UPDATE
Pre-writtens now allowed however KEEP THEM ON THE SUBJECT!
The picture is called Sleep In Peace and is a portrait by Dana. You can find it at Portraits By Dana
I've never done a contest quite like this, so make your entries count ok?
I'm in my limbo-mood. I'm not happy nor sad and I've been thinking a lot about my daughter and my little brother. Neither of them made it, but I am not looking for sympathy. In fact, give me your sympathy and you won't place in the contest. Sympathy and empathy cannot and will not heal. I'm trusting in God and time to heal these wounds.
Keep in mind the metaphor of death as a long sleep @--'--,---
RULES
♥ No chat speak or sticky caps ♥
♥ No dirty pretty ♥
♥ No sympathy please ♥
♥ Several Entries Per Person Allowed ♥
X---Rewards may increase---X
Write what you feel in your heart when looking at the picture and thinking deeply about it but make it as an excellent piece of poetry ♥♥♥

- Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 12 people
- Final notes: First of all, I apologise for taking awhile to judge this contest. I've had issues with my AP and have had to find another computer to judge! Also, I sincerely apologise if there is anyone who received a comment saying they'll be added to finalists and wasn't in the end. I recorded poem titles but there may be one or two people who didn't get in. So so sorry
Congrats to all who entered, HM's are in no particular order. Well done to all who entered and thank you so much for sharing a piece of your heart with me. Take care and give as much love as you can to dear ones.

I will try to enter this contest, I just don't know if I can...I lost a child to miscarriage five months into pregnancy a few years ago.
Good luck with your contest.

That's fair enough, take your time and if it's too painful, don't force yourself
