Here's to humble friends and great poetry...

There will be just a few rules, but first I want to take a little time to explain the contest. So, bear with me, and read the contest through.

This contest is being held in honor of a humble poet who deserves more recognition than I could give her. She is a humble talent, and it blows me away sometimes that she would even consider reading my work. She has even said that I inspire her, and has donated umpteen thousand points to my contest holding fund in the past. Thanks Kathleen!

If you have not guessed this contest is for Rowan. I would like you to go to her page and read some of her work, if you have not already done so. Believe me, the pleasure will be all yours.

The poem you enter does NOT have to be a dedication, but it can be. Just pen something you know would make her smile.

I have many amazing friends here. Friends that might not always agree with my crazy way of thinking, or the way I leave and come back to ap on a whim. However, one reason they are so amazing is the fact that they accept me as I am. This has been Kathleen from the get go. Never judging, just accepts the differences, and embraces you no matter what.


Her page can be found here:

Rules:

No religion bashing
No rhyme
No centered poetry
No flashy backgrounds
No teen angst, macabre, etc.




A few of my personal favorites:

    Thanks for doing this. A worthy poet indeed. I have the contest bookmarked. Not sure if I can create something worthy of her.
