Love?

What is Love for you?

I have a bias in this contest. I am looking for writes on Love that
focus on commitment nurtured by freedom.

This is the prompt.

There are no rules, except those that you hold yourself to and I encourage you to discard those for writing poetry.
Be brave, dissolve the boundaries, write from the heart.

any form allowed,
I allowed prewrites for a while but I have changed my mind.
I would like freshwrites.
Any prewrites previously entered will be 'judged' equally.


I encourage you to discover a gateway to love unknown to you,

SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN JUDGING THE CONTEST. I'M DEALING WITH A LOT OF PERSONAL ISSUES AT THE MOMENT, I WILL JUDGE IT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS,

with love,
Isabella




Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 29, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Thanks to everyone who entered!
    My apologies for the delay in judging, i have had a lot of personal issues and losses recently.

    I hope the quality of my comments were ok,
    I did my best from where I'm at.
    It was difficult to judge as there were many really good poems. I gave trophies to those that i felt were closest to the prompt and which moved me, where i'm at this time of my life,

    warm wishes,
    Isabella

  • Love
    In the iridescence of youth / I talked irresponsibly / Without even a thought / That one day I shall grow old / And see things in a colder light / It was a time / Not of fruition yet but of flowering
