Dickenson, Sandburg, Frost... You?

Love poetry? Love cash prizes? Have I found a website for you!

I've been following Joy's Notepad for quite awhile. If you read a few of her posts, you'll understand why. She's so warm, so real, and well....dare I say it? Joyful! Plus she's a dang good photographer. She mostly blogs about her life in Norway, which is interesting because she's originally from the Philippines and she's married to a Norwegian seafarer. She loves the Lord with all her heart and that spills over into her writing.

Now then, what does any of this have to do with poetry and prizes? She's decided to run a poetry contest with these parameters:

"My contests is not about me. I will ask you blogfriends or readers to define God or write a poetry letter or just a letter to God. It can be thankfulness, heartaches or whatever one wanted to say to God."

So go ahead. Whip out a pen and wax poetical on a piece of parchment. Whether or not you even enter the contest, you'll have spent some time focused on the Creator Himself--and that's the best prize of all!
