CONTEST ARE A BIG PART OF WHAT MAKES AP A FUN PLACE TO WRITE. THOSE WHO PUT ON THESE CONTEST DO SO AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR OWN POINTS.
This contest is to recognize one of those major contributors:
RIFTKIN http://allpoetry.com/Riftkin
Please visit her Authors page
JoAnn has only been a member since April last year, 9 months.
In 9 months she has sponsored 179 contest, each of which is a minimum of 300 points and most were many more, I'd say, it's safe to say that Joann has given away well over 89,895 points
contest: 179
comments: 9525
trophies: 675
THE CONTEST: 12 to 36 lines (or thereabouts)
So here is what I would like from all you fine poets, (and you don't have to know her to write for this contest), Just write a poem that is for Riftkin, something pretty.....
It can be about the moon, the stars, mountains or trees, a thank you , or a poem of recognition, basically anything you want, just please write it with Riftkin in mind, either to her or for her or dedicated to her, please.
Rhyme, free verse, or any form you like( just remember I am not versed at allot of forms)
Make it 12 to 36 lines, or there abouts
Regular rules apply, we all know what they are:
No kicking
no biting
no pulling hair
etc etc .
Please write something brilliant and nice for a very nice lady!
Thanks

To all who entered, thank you very much for entering and your brilliantly penned poems of affection for Riftkin. I'm sure she would want me to say thank you for her. Appreciate all of your entries and hope to see you all again, soon.
Big Thank You,

Thank you.
You are the best.
Thank you for this.
JoAnn
p.s. I added each contest up and must be honest,
I only gave away so far 89,895 points in contests.
Not to correct you, but, I must be honest with the
right amount given away.
JoAnn -
What a great ideal for a wonderful lady!!!
-
I shall be back with a suitable entry
-
-
I wonder if she would prefer a dragon or something naughtier...
-
-
Whatever you choose dear Jeff.
-
-
There's a sapphic ode for all of you, am I allowed multiple entries? if so Melvin will give me something to post later.
-
-
That will be up to the Host.
But Melvin is welcome to stop by
for a cup of tea any time. -
-
Martha and Melvin are flying there soon
They hope in the springtime and well before June
An airline has fitted some fireproof seats
And hotels have found them some large bedded suites
So make sure to look up on a bright sunny day
To friendly dragons are headed your way
He wears a waistcoat, he's tubby and blue
She is much fitter and changes her hue
Tea as they land from a trip on the wing
With toast and some cakes in a New England spring -
-
Tea shall be serve around four
All they need to do, is know on the door
Ask for Joann, then take a seat
My children and grandkids they shall meet
Neighbors around will flock by too,
To see Martha and Melvin in all they do
So, come that sunny day this year
I will be waiting for them right here
Send them along when the times right
A smile will make a dull day bright

looks to pull other poets onwards in growth.

Gracious thankyou for the priviledge
of honoring RIFTKIN as our Golden Poet who shares
with us her bold poetic beauty, strength, and loyal
dedication to us as we struggle to peel the words
out of our hearts and minds combining them effectively
into verse. Humbled by this gift, will use it for
contests and to feature new poets to unleash their
souls and live boldly!
Respectfully,
