Please be inspired from this quote :
"Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions."
-- Gerald Jampolsky
You can write in whatever it inspires you but please keep it under 50 lines.
I am allowing prewrites but the prewrite must be inspired from the quote.
Please do NOT use the quote in your poem.
All site rules apply.
I'll judge this whenever I get a good amount of quality poetry.
Prizes may or may not increase.
If you have questions Im me because I might miss the note.
My comments may vary but I will make sure that all poems are commented on before I judge it sometimes I might view and suddenly leave etc but I will come back and comment.
Have fun!
