what’s in it?







Black Background
White font

Be creative.





Due to traveling and a hectic next few weeks
I may not be able to comment on all poems,
which sucks, I know.  I hate it when it happens
to me, but be assured each poem will be read
and I will judge fairly.

    Welcome home

    my door ajar
    no need to knock
    just slip through the threshold
    a smile awaits you

    well son of a bitch. I wrote one and waited til I got home from work and this baby is closed now.... You know my style Lanie, 20 words?? I cant even write a message that short.....But since its YOUR contest and I am thrilled you are back....I did.

    So entry or no entry, I didnt struggle to make 50 something words turn into 20 for nothing. So here ya go, for you Lanie.....I am opening my little black box......

    {boxed words & hungry worms}

    My in-box is
    blackened
    decayed, rancid…
    secrets
    locked
    password protected…
    rotting words
    lie in
    digital coffin.

    ….food for virtual worms.


    Its great to see ya back, I missed you!
    Love,
    Jamie

    Well, damn it! Okay, I'm going to be giving another contest either today or tomorrow, and I promise I won't close it until I see that you've responded (either you will or will not enter) I missed you and I'm sorry I left without word...sometimes life just gets a bit much, and so does internet life. I couldn't do both well at the time (my job was interfering) but I think I can handle things now. Anyway, I am just glad to read you again

    Thank-you so much, I don't seem to be able to find things to write at the moment, exams!
    But winning another cup makes me want to right now!
