it leans on me like a rootless tree - quickie

I like music the same way I like poetry...RAW and full of emotion.

I want you to take this song (read the lyrics or listen to it)...and allow it to inspire something inside of you.

Contest is Over

Contest was judged on July 7
Rewards: Gold: 1000
Final notes:
i'm not sure whether i am lucky or cursed but everytime I host a contest...no one writes a poem unworthy of recognition and therefore they are damn near impossible to judge. this contest was no different...i judged based on which struck me raw and stayed with me even after i had finished reading.
