May I say a HUGE "Thank You!" again to all who took part in the contest.
I will be commenting on each poem within these next couple of days.
ALL of the poems had inspiration that can be gleamed from them.
Amongst the "Honourable Mentions" I saw life lessons, hope and something that could be taken away from each poem.
EVERY poem in the contest had inspiration of its own to offer....
There was a beautiful blend, in this contest as whole, of encouragement, determination, appreciation, reflection, spirituality etc... They were all meaningful and inspiring which is primarily what I was asking for in this contest (along with the use of the specific quotes and one of your own creation).
I'm sure that as your fellow Soupers read your works, they too will feel inspired by your heartfelt writes.
Thank you once again for your thoughts, time and efforts it taking part in the contest. It is the entrants that make these contests so wonderful.
Sending warm thoughts to one and all. Happy Writing everyone :-D
