    Thank you for to all who participated in this small competition. Votes are in and counted...
    so congratulations to Poet on the Piano with Poem Number 3

    You told me to
    leap
    like a gazelle
    in a golden forest -
    but I never needed
    speed
    or height
    or distance...
    I needed the kind
    of leap where I
    rely on
    nothing but lungs,
    the breath of a soul
    fighting.
    I needed to trust
    no one else,
    landing
    in complete
    acceptance of
    myself.

    Aww, thanks! This was fun reading the entries and I liked that whole idea of an un-leap year lol. Thanks, Milly and I hope for other contests in the future :)
