Not a poem.  A letter.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 10
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 400, Bronze: 400
  • Final notes:
    There was a reason that I did this contest. I have written in my heart and mind a thousand "Dear God" letters lately. Sometimes I am afraid when I write them. Sometimes I am sad. Most times I try to be hopeful. I deliberately did not comment on your entries. I believe that is up to God. I thank you for allowing me to read them - how I judged this contest was simple...I did it blindly. I wrote your titles on pieces of paper and pulled out nine. (I like odd numbers). I thought this would be the best way to judge a contest like this one. Thank you for your time, thank you for opening up your hearts. Love, Lane

    This is exactly the kind of contest I needed. Thanks for posting this, Lane.
    Which God do I write to? There are so many of them.

    I don't believe in god, but I'm in a mood in which I might just write a letter to some entity I don't believe in.

    Bookmarked.

    As an atheist, never thought I'd say this, but even I will enter a poem.

    And why cannot one write a letter in poetry? I frequently do!

    Not that I can enter this competition, since I do not enter competitions that exclude previously writen work. However, if you change your mind on these points, please let me know!

    don't want to offend any body and their version of God.

    So, another time

      i wish you would write. this isn't about offending anyone. it's about just writing a letter to God. You don't need to sign it. This contest is anonymous. make a ripple.

    No thanks, I'm mad at God right now, and 'He' already knows how I feel, and besides, I don't care to share such feelings with the 'masses.'

    Good luck with the contest anyway,
