    I didn't put my name in AN bc it's in other contest that are annonymous and it's not really annonymous if the judge knows who you are. It will show you at the end of the judging, or you can change it to not be annonymous. I hope this is ok

    hi, I don't know whether it is accepted but two of the poems I have entered "Who am I?" and "Burning Life" did not happen exactly to me... the former happened to ... the girl who died was a very close friend of mine ...almost a sister, so it applies in one sense.
    The later is actually a nightmare ... that is to say I saw it in a dream.

    Even then please read through them before deciding they apply to your theme or not.

    Thank you, Aalta
