Well, this only my second contest, I'm fairly new, and I'm short on points, as usual, but I still wanted to spend some- so! I want you to write about feelings- I'm most partial to love, but I do appreciate pain, suffering, and longing, but only as long as they are extremely well written. Because feelings never quite sound as good (or bad) on paper as they feel or sound in our heads, the biggest challenge is to make what you feel and have in your head get on paper well- my advice is to use good imagery, metaphors, etc.- I appreciate poems that make you think, just as long as they stop before confusing.
By the way, 'In Memory' by Hidden In Plain View is a good inspirational song for this contest, as is 'Paperthin Hymn' by Anberlin.

Well! I'm using an alternate computer to get this done, so I better get it done now. Sorry, I havn't had time to comment much/at all, but I'll try to as soon as I have time! (and adults say it gets worse with a job- hard to imagine...lol)
