So You Think You Have Soul??

This is my 17th contest; I can't believe that the number just keeps getting higher and higher each time. I want your deepest and most spiritual poems. I want you to free yourselves and get me lost into your world. I want to be able to feel what you are writing about from within.


The Rules

1) No StIcKy TaPs
2) Stick to the topic or get DQ'ed
3) Keep the background where it's readable or I'll ask you to edit
4) Please don't send me crap
5) Have Fun!!


I'm looking forward to seeing all of your entries....


What are you waiting for????
