I am a dreamer. Always have been and imagine I always will be. Even school report card shows comments such as' 'day dreamer', 'tends to drift off into her own world' etc etc. I have the ability to escape, at any moment to another place and that is the inspiration for holding this contest. I am looking for poets who can write about a place that I can see, hear, touch, smell and feel. The more beautiful, the better. I love rain, green fields of flower, waterfalls, underneath the ocean and high in the sky plus any other world you want to take me to.
There are no rules, only that suitable poems are entered.
