My darlingest, dearest most beautiful little sis, vaseline has returned to AP and I am beyond thrilled and happy over this event.
She's very special in all aspects, and a fucking amazing poet in her own right. If you don't believe me, go check out her stuff...I bet you dollars to donuts its far better than anything you've read on this site.
http://allpoetry.com/vaseline
Anyhoo, like most people, she's had her fair share of life lessons handed to her on a tin plate, so what I wish for you to do is write a piece to either encourage her or emulate her unique style. Don't patronize or even begin to think you know what she feels as she is one deep cookie, but just delight her with your prose and insights as she is a devoted fan of the written word.
She's worth every single of those points I'm putting up, so don't enter anything not worthy of her. She prefers free verse, excellent imagery, and original voice. Like I said, if you have no clue as to what those are, go to her page and find out from a master.
I'm allowing pre-writes for right now, in case you have something that will tickle her pink. However, if I don't think it'll be a fitting tribute, trust me, it won't stay on this page for long.
Most importantly, if you do know her, make her feel loved...and if you don't know her, then find out who she is through her poetry...trust me, she's worth getting to know.
Welcome back, dear girl.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 27, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 5000, Silver: 1000, Bronze: 500, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: I have decided to end this contest a little earlier than anticipated, chiefly because my darling Jane has selected a winner amongst the ones here. She has chosen a piece that reflects her tastes and her style and who I heartily endorse as well. Please read it for its powerful and brilliant pen.
Silver goes to a piece that I simply adored and found every word perfect.
Bronze goes to a piece that was breathtakingly beautiful and had such grace it must've been created by an angel.
The finalists were all bold and brilliant in their own right. Please view them as they are works of art.
I want to thank EVERYONE for joining in this welcome home for my little sis, and both she and I are grateful for your time and offerings of poetry.
It has been a delight!
