Dear friends,
Through this contest lets create a new message of inspiration. Through the tough roads of life, as one travels, he / she has to face a lot of intrigues but the one who doesn't lose heart and the one who keeps his courage alive ultimately succeeds.
Thus I want the poets of AP to write such a poem that can help a disheartened / discouraged person to hold down his/her nerves and continue their journey towards success.
The Rules
1. Use Optimistic approach
2. Use Good Language
3. No adult stuff allowed
4. 1 poem for each poet
5. Only poems please
All the best!!!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 28, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 125, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Dear Poets/Friends,
As this contest comes to end, its the most difficult time to choose 5 out of 8 beautiful poems. This is my first contest where so many excellent pieces were entered that I really sweated while choosing some and leaving some.
Though as a rule, there was a choice of just 5 poems and thus I chose these.
Those who have got qualified to the 5, I congratulate them, it was really really tough to choose poems and then also arrange them.
Those whose poems were left, your poems had no shortcoming at all, they were equally beautiful. It was just that I had to choose 5 of them.
But never mind, your entries and poems will soon get published in a collection of poems that I have planned.
In the end, dear friends, remember this is just a small contest, the real contest is there in the practical lives of yours.
Always try to do something that can give smiles to people, relief to the suffered and compassion and encouragement to those who need. Do such things that can give atleast a smile to the people. And abstain from things that give pains, miseries and sufferings to people.
Don't create the differences of religion, race, gender or income; we are all brothers and sisters, children of same Adam and Eve.
Do such things that can spread love, brotherhood, humanity, harmony and truth and abstain from being harsh, hard-hearted and cruel.
NEVER COMMIT THINGS THAT YOU REGRET TOMORROW
Thanks people for your entries, thanks to those who participated through there comments on poems and Contest.
Thanks a lot
Yours Truely
