John Lawless Poems

I found out "Where the teardrops go"

WOW.....This has been the toughest contest I have judged. So much wonderful insight regarding the theme and so few ...10....slots for placements. Took some time as many left me sitting and reflecting on my own tears. My thanks to all who entered the contest.
