This is my first contest and I hope for a lot of entries.
Okay so what I want you to do is write about despair. I would prefer it be from experience (i.e. death, divorce, betrayal, etc.)
There needs to be power and emotion. Make readers of your poetry just want to stop what they're doing and cry. I realize the chances of this actually happening are very small so atleast just try.
The only rule here is to pour out your soul. Please follow this carefully.
Good luck everyone!
