I was inspired to hold this contest after donating to one on the same subject.
This is a subject that is very close to my heart and also to many others.
Ok here is what i want you to write: AIDS/HIV related work.
I want TRUE feeling on this subject, anybody may enter if they are connected /inspired /suffering from this.
Have a look at the previous contest:
http://allpoetry.com/contest/2433699
Rules:
No hating work. You will be DQed without warning.
All styles are welcome even that dIsTrAcTiNg typing because it is all art after all is used correctly.
No using religion as a weapon as in that i mean if you have this disease you will go to hell or what ever you believe.
YOU don’t have to be spelling perfect, i want to point this out as i myself can not spell and if there are spelling mistakes i am very unlikely to pick them up so if there are mistakes i do not mind at all.
I loose intrest in long poems so the shorter the better. But any lenght is fine.
Trophies will be given to the work that is deserving so more trophies will be added depending.
P.S: I find this image very powerful, it is not in any way ment to cause distress.
