Most of you who know me, know that I have been going through some rough times: the death of my father in July, my mother now getting ready to join him very soon. And then last week, finding out my son had to have 3 biopsies on skin moles that do not look good - and having to wait 10-14 days to find out those results. Stress, stress….
So I need some happy writes, some funny writes, spiritual (not heavy religion), beautiful writes, nature writes, fantasy - just about anything that will leave a ‘happy’ feel.
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens. [Ecclesiastes 3:1]”
I am in the middle of a ‘winter’ season - I am looking for ‘spring, summer’ writes - happy.
No real rules, other than no erotica (wouldn’t fit)
This is not anon. - if I like your writes, I want to know who you are. So please put your user name in your author’s notes. And please comment on each other’s entries.
I will be adding more points/trophies for quality writes.
I usually close early. I will delete if not enough interest. The winner will be the one that I relate to the most, or like their entry the best, and will not reflect, personally, on your writing. If I get a lot of quality writes, I will do an ‘Invite Only’ follow-up contest for those I couldn’t give a high-enough award to the first time around (that is what I did in my last contest).
***For this contest, no poems that have already taken a trophy (to keep all entries on a fair and equal footing....thanks)..***
Thank you.
Have fun!

- Final notes: This was REALLY hard to judge - EXCELLENT entries…..gave up and added the HM’s as I feel they are all deserving of recognition (wish it could be more on some of them!).

Thank you all so much for the outstanding entries. I appreciate it.
