Congratulations to the winners of the Poetry.com May 2024 monthly contest. There were 142 poems submitted to the contest — thank you to everyone who entered and participated!
thank you, I lost my baby back in 1991 and lost a second one the following year on mine and my husbands anniversary. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times it seems like forever. When I lost the first baby, I lost my grandmother and my dad and brother went to prison. It happened in October of that year. I have shared that poem with other young mothers who have suffered the same loss and am hoping it can help othersmore »
My poem is about the pain I felt when I lost my baby. Writing the poem seemed to help with the pain, if this poem can speak to someone who is going thru the same thing, I'm glad.
A warm welcome to all the nominees of our May 2024 contest! Whether you're a seasoned member or a fresh face joining our poetic community, we're thrilled to have you here. Happy writing, and best of luck to each and every one of you!more »
