Hey Carolyn, thank you for the compliment honey. No, I am not a model... I had aspirations to be one when I was about 12 but no one to support the dream. I do love taking pics tho! Ok, now please submit your poem as I'm sure any submission from you would be intriguing and a pleasure to read. Luv Lay.

Wow! What an incredible photo, Lay! Are you a model? I have written a poem for your contest but am afraid to enter it as it cannot compare with the abuse and neglect some poets suffered in childhood. Congratulations on holding your first contest!!! Judging is always hard but those who enter already know the competition here is stiff. I'm still trying to decide if my "darkest childhood memory" is dark enough for your contest. Love, Carolyn
