    I just entered a few poems of mine. I also listened to last weeks show-Twice Lost and was so impressed by Charlotte Mathes thoughts and comments. I just got passed the 4th anniversary of my son’s death and felt this show was meant for me. It was such a message of hope and healing!
    Thanks again-
    Kim

    My original work consists of a video that shows how my daughter was murdered by her close friend in our own backyard. Please check it out on Youtube by typing in “the chase for beauty”

    I think this is going to be a great contest, and cannot wait to see the great poetry that comes from it.
