Go deep for this one. So often we read poetry that touches us on the deepest of levels. We are reminded of the amazing power within our souls, and the energy of everything. We are particularly looking for poems that seem to attribute happenings to some force that is bigger than ourselves. Oprelle’s “Bigger Than Me” Contest is looking for your musings on any topic, such as:
A strong coincidence
A clear sign
A calling
A love story
A unique connection
A path you must take
Road rising to meet you
Divine reciprocity
Power of our thoughts
Strength of a soul
A string of events
The connection of all
You get the idea. Use one of our ideas, or come up with your own. This is sure to be a most intriguing anthology, and we are already looking forward to your poems.
Your poem can be simple and uplifting, or complicated and metaphorical; any style works, if you follow the rules and write between 1 and 20 lines. Oh, and make sure your poetry is 100% original. We will consider both published and unpublished poems.
