“And sometimes hurt is not of the body.
More often it is words, or lack thereof. A lack of words.
The cruelty of silence.”

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 29
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 150, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Thanks so much everyone for entering your excellent poems! I'm very sorry for taking so long to judge, and also for not commenting. I promise to comment slowly over time; I just have been extremely busy lately. The first and second place poems were wonderful -- one creative, truthful, and the other short and to the point, yet lovely in its simplicity. Thanks again for a great contest!
