Epic, Nette. Loving this kind of writing....particularly this unique line: "Your ghastly trace of darkness maims my bones"...love it! Sure this one'll impress, my friend. Definitely worth more than an old tin cup of course. ;) Always, Laura

Your poem would touch any compassionate heart Nette. I can't stand to see people suffer and and help when I can. A heartwrenching look at how it really is sadly. I hope this does great in the contest. ; )
