No Andy, picture poetry contest does not stipulate anything except some, and it can even be tenuous, relavence to the picture. I hope you will try. :) But no need to rush. This won't end for several weeks or even maybe a month.Quote:

Hold My Hand
Hold my hand and I will lead you
to the paradise you seek.
I will show you untold pleasures
found only once in this life.
Hold my hand and I will take you
to places you want to go.
And we will share the pleasure
of seeing them together.
Hold my hand and I will
give you strength,
I will make you powerful
beyond your wildest dreams.
Hold my hand, sweet one,
stay with me always
and I will forever love you.
Only you, my love, only you.
Hold my hand and follow me
throughout this lifetime
from birth to death
and all lifetimes to follow.
Hold my hand, my love,
and together we will rule,
standing together always,
transcending time and space.
Hold my hand and we will go
together forever into bliss.
And when we are born again
you will know my touch
and know we are meant
to be as one.
WOWZERS, GRANNY! That's SPECTACULAR!! :)
Thank you, Cdn. I was a little worried. But I figured I might as well bite the bullet, right.Quote:

This place is like a hospital. It requires patience.
Yes, it does require patience at times. I do think it also requires us to start thinking like writers. When the deadline is given, meet it, don't ask for extentions. If there are rules, follow them, or expect rejection. That's how it works in the real world. I am not hard-hearted. I published some of my work before I became disabled, some while going to school full-time and working my internship as required, etc. It took a long time for most authors to become able to make it on writing alone. You have to make time for writing. One successful author of my aquantice says he writes every day for two hours at a given time. He never throws out anything he writes, he sends everything to publishers. He now makes his living and has for some time as a full time writer. It didn't happen overnight. It took work, meeting deadlines, and finding what the publisher wanted. But it worked. And for many others as well. We are poets and writers, none masters, all students helping each other. Some here are published in books, some in magazines, etc. Some still await their first publication. But we learn from each other, and this is something to consider anyway.

Sometimes it takes time. I would prefer at least five entries before I start judging.
Has a deadline ever been set?
this is what Virgil posted on the 30th of August:Quote:

I bet that it will be a while. His mom had surgery and he's going to see her tomorrow.
No I have not set a deadline. Do people want me to?Quote:
