THE 10 WINNERS OF THE DJIS UN PENSAMENTU 10th ANNIVERSARY POETRY CONTEST

THE 10 WINNERS OF THE DJIS UN PENSAMENTU 10TH ANNIVERSARY POETRY CONTEST.

poetry-winners-2015.jpg

Hello there thinkerthoughters,

 

After a few days of thinking, deliberating, biting our lips, and scratching our heads, we finally have the 10 winners of our Poetry Contest.

 

It was not easy. But we finally have them.

 

These are the criteria that we have taken into account to find our 10 winners:

 

• Use of words/phrases

• Creativity

• Originality

• Expression of pure feelings (sincerity in words)

• A touch of humor

• Food for thought

 

This last criterion was key. We are a site that aims to stimulate all kinds of thoughts.

So it was very important to us that the poem could stimulate “Food for Thought”.

(What is the feeling/thought/state of mind that the poem leaves you with?)

 

And yes ... TA RA TA TAAAA !!!!!

We've got them!

 

Here they are:

As a thinker and a dreamer, my head is full of wandering thoughts. I can express these thoughts in my poems.

It is the first time that I have had the inspiration to write a poem. I loved Elis Juliana's poems.

Poetry is for me a gateway to connect with, reflect on, and express my deepest, most personal thoughts and emotions. Writing poetry is a cathartic process for me.

Poetry to me means : Pure Organic Energy to Uplift Yourself. It never gets old and it's a great way of expression.

Each with his thoughts ... On the one hand, poetry is joy because it makes your heart rejoice, and on the other, it lets your heart breathe.                                                                                                                                                      Frida Frans

Poetry is like a captivating friend who visits or travels along. Or sometimes does not let us know anything about him for a while but who will always remain welcome.
