Contest Description

That was then, this is now

A theme that can mean so much, and possibly apply to so many people.

Hope it inspires some creativity.

Some tips in regards to my contests. I do like poems that are deep and have an emotive side.

Most of all I like poems that use words wisely and create imagery through word pairings. Imagery using new metaphors etc, rather than ones used before.

Good luck, I do prefer new poems, as it means the theme inspired you. Also, shorter poems normally place lower, because I feel they are easier to write.
