I'm a bit low on belief lately-- in myself that is, so I thought a contest with that theme in mind might be very inspiring.
Write a short poem about...
believing in oneself
self-confidence
perseverance
Free verse preferred, but rhyme is fine (if done well)
Plain backgrounds only (I find busy backgrounds distract me from your poetry)
Proofread please (I'll help you with this if you want and I will discreetly IM with corrections)
Enjoy!
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 24, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 250, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: Thank you one and all for the truly uplifting and inspiring poems. Your messages came through loud and clear and I felt encouraged as I read each piece. I truly wish I could award three gold and a couple of silver and bronze, but that is not possible. Wonderful work and I hope to read more in future contests of mine.
