Friends old and new

It seems like friends on AP have come and gone. It's time to renew some old friendships and start new ones. So here is a contest for all my AP friends and anyone wanting to become friends. Enter anything you wish. Please no Erotica though.
To be fair in judging and not to play favorites, the contest will be anonymous. I'll be able to seen entrants names after I judge.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 20, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Wow. Thank you all who entered. Many of the entries touched me deeply and personally. I want to more golds but only one can receive it. Sunset was not only beautifully written but deeply touched my soul and spoke to me personally. earths blessings also was wonderfully writen and touched my soul. It spoke of many of the truths that real intimate friendship should be. Never alone was another beautifully writen sonnet which spoke of God's grace and love. It touched me personally. A special friendship said so many wonderful things to me personally. I value my friends and this piece really affirmed me. I want to give gold just for the affirmation I received. Loving Spirit also affirmed me and spoke of the spiritual connection I have with friends.
    Thank you all who entered. For those I already know, I hope our friendship grows deeper. For those I do not know yet, I hope we that we may become friends.
