Giving Thanks

Hello beautiful poets!


This is my 300th contest here on AP and I decided to make it worthwhile.


This is the time of year when people seem to be extra thanful for things in their lives.  So here is what this is about:


I want you to pick out a poet on AP that you are thankfuk for,  Write them a poem, letting them know why you are especially thankful for them being in your poetic (or beyond) life.


There are some really special people on this site, and some have become even more special to us in many ways.  Let them know by paying tribute to their friendship.



Some rules:

  • No chat speak or sticky caps
  • No foul language
  • Nothing adult
  • Fonts readable against backgrounds
  • TWO entries per poet (I know, hard to do.)
  • MUST put the name of who it is written for in your author's notes
  • No bashing anyone- instant DQ
  • The word "I" is capitalized!
  • Nothing more than 30 lines
  • Absolute Must- Your poem must be written about someone you MET on AP.  If you were together before you joined, then choose someone else please.

Points will definitely go up and I am sure HMs will be added.  Point donations are always welcome too.


Thank you to Riftkin for her generous donation!


This contest will remain open thruogh Thanksgiving Day!


Spread the love, and be thankful for those wonderful people that have touched your lives,  I know I am!


Good luck
Storm
