      The contest officially starts in 15 days, which is the deadline to lock in all of the submissions. Then, once it starts, you have a few (7, I think) days to read them all and place your vote.

    Looking forward to read some fresh writes! I think it could be beneficial to be mindful of how we title our work. Not knowing what people go through, using graphic language could be triggering to some. Not an attack, just an opinion^.^

      Good call out. People who put graphic language in theirs are only guaranteeing that people like me, will never read it lol.

      No one has to read what they don't want to. I'm sure people sift through poems. I know I do.. Even inadvertently, I would hate for someone to relive any trauma and loose enjoyment. Speaking from personal experience, it's not comfortable. So I thought it was important to call awareness^.^

      I often accidently enjoy what I just happen somehow to find and mistakenly read.
