Do you have a poem that you absolutely love...
and it seems that no one else appreciates it? It's one that came from your heart and you have no idea why it hasn't touched others?
I know I have one such poem... Street Hearts (Hmmm could be the dumb title
) http://allpoetry.com/poem/4010709
I'm beginning to think that we all do... So, here's your chance to be recognized as the Best of the Unappreciated!
Rules are simple:
This is for PREWRITES only...
Must have been in at least one contest...
Must be marked appropriately...
Thats it...
As a special bonus (I'm going out on a limb here) the winner will be nominated for the Spotlight so that your brilliance will get the widest possible attention...
I look forward to reading your poems (and yes, even commenting on them!)...

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 23
- Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 400, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 16 people
- Final notes: Wow... How brilliant am I for thinking of this? What a diversity of styles, genre's, subjects, and forms... all with a unique beauty that makes each memorable.
I gave each my best shot at comments but, in truth, there was little to say critically... These truly are points of brilliance...
I would ask - since this was a contest to highlight the unappreciated - that you take to the time to read:
Gold - Aubade - a simple tale of a working man's morning; you've never seen calloused hands so tender
Silver - five thirty am practice - a morning workout with imagery that'll have you smelling her sweat socks
Bronze - Jazzed - a wonderful bluesy remembrance of Billie that'll bring music to your ears ...
I would encourage you to read all of these... from suntannned inebriation to painful memories... each is a facet on the jewel we call poetry and each shines brilliantly when seen in the light...
Thank you each! Keep you pens flowing...
Ken
