I've been wanting to have another contest for a while now,
so this one will be in honor of the lovely Miss Lane.
She is one of my favorites of my favorites,
and I miss her presence here so much.
I do not want poems written for Lane, I just want your best work.
This is open to 50 prewrites or new poems, so please reserve,
the only catch is that you must be on hers or my favorites list.
Give us some amazing & interesting poetry to read.
rules:
no dancing backgrounds
left align
free verse, good rhyme, or prose accepted
you must be on one of our faves lists
Joe's helping out with this one.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 10
- Rewards: Gold: 3000, Silver: 2000, Bronze: 1000, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: thanks so much to you all for entering this contest... each one of the top three poems came from mine, Lane's or Joe's list of finalists, and the hm's are also poems we/i like a lot. so many of the poems in this contest are very powerful, each in their own way.... so this was really freakin hard to judge! lol...thanks again to you all & a big welcome back hug to Lane. - tara

Well I have poems for Lane, but this is my best and wasn't for her but was inspired by her
I hope you enjoy it.

This is lovely, Tara and such a wonderful gesture. I haven't written much lately - will see if i have a prewrite somewhere. Has Lane left AP?

thank you
...no, she hasn't left.....and i hope you'll enter something!..
-
-
she has always been dear to me ... i'll try and come up with something
-
-
thanks, i hope you'll reserve a place then if you don't plan on entering a pre-write.
-
-
I assume we should look for one that she hasn't read yet (or are we looking for one's you haven't read yet) or both?
-
-
whatever you want, i love reading good poetry over and over again...
-
-
Thanks
-

What a beauiful thing to do... I'm sure this will touch her in one way, or another. She is such fantastic person... i'm sure your friendship is a compliment to her.

Hmm... I have not written in so long I feel out of touch with even my old stuff. Maybe reading all these entries will inspire me.
-
-

Yes, let us humbly, or otherwise, send our love and appreciation with poetic respect to a most talented and passionate poetess, a whimsical woman full of life who fancies herself a mermaid.
