Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco Addictions


Anything on your addiction, whether you're still using/drinking/smoking or clean/sober, except for glorifying it. No prewrites because I want your poem to be as you see things now.



Here's the link for 'Out of the Tomb Rising from Addiction':

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 12
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    The powerful message of the destructive nature of addiction is evident equally in each entry, so I judged them on their ability to convey powerful imagery to my mind.

    Thanks all for entering.

    Peace Georgia
