With all the turmoil in the world, I would like to read poetry that reflects happiness. So, write about things that may receive a smile. Smiles are contagious, and I would like us all to "catch" a smile.
If your work isn't "happy" in my definition, then I will remove it, without explanation...
May enter twice
Nothing allowed that doesn't fit the contest requirements
No prewrites
Any form
I hope you have fun and catch a smile.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 15, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 500, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: I judged on my "smiling" factor...lol I think giving of one's self it the greatest gift and feeling in the world. That makes me smile the most. Thus, "It Matters" took the gold.
Anyone who knows me and have entered my contests know I am very spiritual, and I adore spriitual writes. They were all beautiful.
Thank you all for entering.
