From The Heart

I am a fan of all kinds of poetry, and I have been on AP for a very long time. (Although this is my first time doing a contest).. ANY creative work will be accepted. Although please.. no erotica and too much use of profanity. I dont mind a swear or two, but leave it at that.
I don't care if spelling or grammar are issues, the messeges of poems is most important.
Just keep it real!

    I'd like to give my warmest thanks to everyone who submitted to my very first contest. It was very difficult to judge this because you all have a tremendous amount of talent... I cried alot reading these poems because you gave me exactly what I asked.. You spoke from your heart!
