If I Never Knew You - For New to me poets

This is a contest for those whom I have never read and commented on. Closes at my midnight EST USA.

I love deep writes, from the far edge of a prompt, fresh, freeverse, and something that stuns beautifully.

I do not like dark writes. I do not like erotic writes. I love nature, writing about human self-analysis, writng about societywriting about writing....

I read every poem out loud. I love sound, brilliant phrases, new word combinations...
