From this contest I want uplifting poems on how you would battle loneliness. There are millions out there myself included who battle this everyday. Some are surrounded by people all day everyday but feel so totally alone. It could be from lost loves, empty nest syndrome, etc...etc.... Just write a poem on how you would encourage others how to get through the dark days and nights of loneliness.Now for the rules...No cutting, suicuide,or dark poems. I want to come out encouraged by your poems. I like rhyme, but whatever style is you is fine. I prefer no profanity as well. Good Luck to eveyone!!!!!

Lovely idea for a contest
I would love to enter however...
I dwell in darkness and loneliness
and for me, I'm trapped with no escape
I shall be back to read the entries
Perhaps they will provide for me some answers
Have a wonderful time with your contest
Many blessings

UGH!
I've got a PERFECT poem for this contest!! Grr. Stupid pre-write; why couldn't it write itself now??
Lol, no harm in trying my hand, eh?

If you change your mind to admit previously written work, please let me know!

Will Do...
If I don't get very many entries, I may open it to pre-writes, but I'd really like as many fresh writes as possible!!!!
