Contest Description

Hello all!

So for this contest all that is required is for you to reflect upon and write about the value of humour in our lives.

How has humour helped you to cope with difficult circumstances? Does humour distract you or help you to process some of the sharp realities we see or experience? Or is there a particular joke that means something to you and why? Have you ever faced a time where you have felt yourself losing your sense of humour and how did that effect you?

As yet, I do not have an example for you to read as I'm challenging myself also to explore the value of humour and its role in helping me to face things too. Once I've written my own I'll let you know via the additional notes part.

This contest is a reflective poem challenge NOT a sharing jokes contest.

Please use the contest name as your title.

My hope is to place all entrants. The only way you will not place is if you fail to stick to the theme or fail to use the title given.

Thank you to those who participate and I look forward to seeing how much my fellow soupers appreciate humour in life.
