#3 No erotica

Meter preferred.
No entry limits.
The prewrites option has been turned off because numerous people are not following the rules and entering any stupid poem they feel like regardless of whether it fits the contest theme or rules. So though I am still open to having prewrites in the contest, you must now contact me and send me the link to the poem you want to enter. If it fits, I will open the prewrites option temporarily for you.

Sacred is the same as holy. I have heard it said that “holy” is God’s way of saying “different. What makes the Bible different from other books? It is the book that reveals God’s holy will. What makes a church different from other buildings? It is a structure dedicated to the service and ministry of God.
What makes Jesus’ heart holy, or “Sacred”? Where it resides; its owner.
I only felt inclined to share.
God bless your efforts for His Name...
