Early Bird quickie! 10/10/30

UPDATE::: DUe to the fact that new contests are not appearing on the AP home page, and this is a quickie contest, I am closing this at 8 entries. I feel it is unfair to keep the 8 entrants waiting for this to fill up any longer. It is a QUICKIE after all


Good morning poets!!
Its been awhile but here I am to collect your brilliant words in this quickie...

10 of you have
30 minutes to pen
10 lines of amazement


Your prompt is

"Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place."
~Carrie Latet

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 13
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering such touching poems so perfect for the prompt. I was upset when the contest first started because of the glitch in the system which caused my contest not to be on the AP home page where it could be seen (especially being a quickie) but I got amazing entries despite that challenge....You seemed to really be inspired by the prompt and your poems are so very beautiful that I felt you all deserved to be recognized....TY for your time and congrats for leaving with a brand new beautiful poem to cherish....

    Love the quote you have here... I won't have time to write anything though.. just read our mutual friend's poem and I think that's another reason for me to bow out silently!! But you've provided wonderful inspiration here.
