Congratulations! Today is the anniversary of your 3rd year at allpoetry. Thanks for being a part of our community, and I hope that allpoetry has helped your love and appreciation of poetry grow over the years!

So I want to have a contest. Write something special about time passing by quickly. Nothing gross, no erotica or senseless violence. Normally I dont push paramaters, but this is not that kind of contest.
I feel that allpoetry and the community here has had an impact on everyone in some way or another. For me, it helped me to reach out to get the thoughts of others about things I was unsure of. Helped me to use emotions in writing better. And through the work and help of others it has also helped me to branch out a little. Let's see some stellar writing about the passing of time, slow or fast, good times or bad. Just remember, nothing thats inappropriate for the kiddies. Thanks.
