I will not limit the number of poems for contest nor will I restrict any group from entering. Cancer is something that touches us all. I want this to be a clean contest because this is open to all ages and remember we have some young children who are very good poets. I intend for all entrants to win in this one. Remember no sticky caps no Internet chat speak and you can use any form of poetry you want. I do not want anyone disrespecting another's poetry. You may enter pre-written poetry if you chose. Only one line in the author's comments. (Cancer survivors are people living with cancer.) You can be a survivor or family, friend or co-worker. Our economy may be bad but how much is a person's life?

i appreciate this post...cancer is...a problem in my family. My grandma mary was the 5th person in the united states to die of heart cancer, my Grandma sarah had her toes amputated becuase she got cancer of the soft tissue of the foot (another rare cancer considering that there i no soft tissue of the foot...needless to say the doctors were baffeled.) Currently in my life my godfather/uncle has pancreatic cancer, my uncle roy has lung canccer, my uncle jim has a brain tumor and another one of my firends has overian cacer. I have been doing relay for life since my parents were pushing me in a stroller. Saturday I turn 21. meh I just wanted to say thank you...for bringing this awareness to ap....i think it is much needed

I appreciate all the entrants.
If you did not receive the right points let me know and I will arrange for your points. Every single poem was really good, it is too bad they all can't win gold. -
Thanks for the points and thanks for the opportunity to speak to others about my cancer. The winners are to be congratulated. They are wonderful. Write on, poet.
