Contest: Afflictions

Blog Posted:12/9/2011 5:51:00 PM
Hi everyone,

I have created a new poetry contest that I hope some of you will enter.

The requirements are:

To write a poem based on any affliction that you or someone you know has such as Epilepsy, Blindness etc but DO NOT name anyone in the poem to not invade their privacy.  The only form acceptable is Free verse and the deadline is the end of January.

Thanks and enjoy writing!
