Hello My Dear Friends!!!
I am glad that you have stopped by, this contest is really important. It is not for me, it is for a Beautiful Young Woman named Elise.
She has been going through some really tough times in the past few years, battling depression and SI. She is a strong girl and she is learning that through the healing process. I hope that she will learn to love herself, because the love that she gives, is so special and sincere.
I would like a poem to help encourage her to continue along the path that she has choosen, that soon, I hope, will lead her to wellness.
She has a beautiful soul and she deserves to live life with a smile on her face. She has been there for me, times when I was unable to be there for myself and I thank God for leading her into my life.
NOW -- it is my time to give something back to her. I have encouraged her and given her the words I know to help her through this time.. and now.. I'd like for you to help me.
She is a member of this site, but I dont think she is able to get on much, so I will be printing these out and sending them to her, so she can always remember how strong she is and how much her life means.
PLEASE help me, help her!!!!
Thank you. There are no rules, please try to be encouraging, give her some ADVISE.... let her know all the good things that are just waiting for her out there... So use your imagination, Grab your Muse, and write something for my Beautiful Angel Elise!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!
http://allpoetry.com/Poem/777774
*PLEASE READ... PRE-WRITE CONDITION* Please make sure it is an encouraging piece. It should be directed at the things she is going through... *MUST BE** AGE APPROPRIATE, she is 15. SHE NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT TO HAVE GOOD SELF ESTEEM... that sort of stuff...
If you enter a prewrite, I'd like a new piece also, but it is NOT required.
WITH LOVE TO YOU ALL, CRISS

I had some problems with this layout, so I had to start over...
Robinsroost24 made a comment and I wanted to put it back here... so here it is THANK YOU Robsinsroost24!
"Sorry to say that serious poems don't come to me in an instant...as they come from my heart and when the time is right. I have several though that if you would want to print them off for her, feel free to do so even though they can't be in the contest. I would suggest "Unbroken", "The Ticking of Time" and "A Teardrop in the Ocean". I'm not asking you for comments on my work, it's not necessary but you've touched me with what you're doing and I'd like to help. Please feel free to print what you'd like...give her a hug from me" -
Does this Elise live in Calirfornia? I have a friend named Elise, who is 15 or 16, and lives in California, and is going through the same problems. It might be easier to write if it was her, but either way, Ill be writing for this contest if I come up with something.
-
No, she lives in IL.
-
okay, thanks lol
-
This is so incredibly sweet of you. I'll definetely come up with something. How many can we enter? If we can enter 2 or 3, I will definetely do so. Here I go to rummage through my prewrites. God bless
-
You can enter three times if you'd like. But if you could come up with one new one if you enter two prewrites, that would be nice, but it is not required.
Either way, I am happy to have three entries by you if that is what you choose to do, thank you!!! -
Ohhhhh...looks like you are getting lots of wonderful entries....I am so glad for you. I hope she gets to come on line to see the contest for her. I know my entry looks better on line then when you print it out.
Good luck...

I think you entry is lovely and in time she will be able to come and check out the contest and see the entries in their typed form but for now, she will get to read them when I print them..
I will be sending her the web address for the contest so when she does get a chance she can come check it all out

Elise is french for Eisabeth
Comes from the Hebrew word ‘Elisheba’ which means ‘devoted to God’. Aaron’s wife as well as the mother of John the Baptist bore this name.

I wrote my poem for elisa. I know how it is to be where she was and how much the love of your friends can help pull you out of depression. Thanks for g iving me this opportunity to help her out. Thanks alot
-
This is the only I add on to this great contest. It is called guidance. Even if I don't win the trophy, I know for a fact the poem is very strong and hearfelt. I wish her the best and may she soon finds happiness. God bless her and you for holding such wonderful contest
-
This is such a cool idea! What I really like is it's not just for point but actually for a purpose. I like writting about these things because I like to encourage girls like me. I hope I'll get the chance and meet the deadline. Great idea, and I hope your friend will really be encouraged!
-
Hell My Dear,
I will probably extend this for a few more days, maybe over the weekend, so dont feel rushed, you still have time.
And thank you for wanting to share your words with Elise. I appricate it greatly!
-
Great Idea
I entered two prewrites, I hope they are uplifting enough... I know how it can be... if she might want to talk to someone who's suffered from depression, she can talk to me or my boyfriend AidenRigel on here... and I'd like to say to the other entrants- good luck and thanks for entering, and don't forget to share these poems with everyone who might need them. Just showing you care is more than enough. -
Criss,
I am so excited to come back here and see all the wonderful entries you have in your contest. The only part about lots of entries......hard to judge!! Good luck to you!!
Cheryl
Hope she is doing well! -
SHEESH! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR EFFORT IN SUBMITTING THESE POEMS. I AM PRETTY SURE I GOT THEM ALL. I WAS TRYING TO READ THEM AS THEY CAME IN. IF I MISSED YOURS, PLEASE
PLEASE, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL HAVE A LOOK. I WILL TAKE ONE MORE LOOK TO MAKE SURE ALL HAVE BEEN READ AND THAT I'VE COMMENTED ON THEM ALL BEFORE THIS IS JUDGED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND LOVING WORDS....
MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED,
WITH LOVE AND ADMIRATION,
CRISS -
Love...
Criss, I think that we (and especially, I) need to thank you for this chance to help another person through difficult times. Elise should know that there is a lot of understanding, caring and love for her-- we may not *know* her, but we have come to know her through this... 'contest', because of your gracious and giving spirit.
Thank you... for hosting this, thank you for being who you are!

Beautiful Melinda,
I thank you for your kind words My Dear. All these entries have really blessed my heart and I do believe that Elle is going to feel blessed too. She's tough, she just needs to learn to love herself, as I have told you before. I know that she wants to get better, because she took that first step, and did something that was very difficult for her, went to her parents and asked them to help her get help. She wants to be well, I see the determination and want and I have no doubt that this budding flower will become a beautiful flower
Thank you!!
With love and friendship,
Criss
-
Thank you!!

I hope my poems really help her feel better about life. I don't really care about the points. I don't really win contest anyway, but my goal in life is to help a person to get through the rough times in life. i helped them survive. that's why im studing to be a phycologist. my life is coplete if i can save a soul. so good luck to all who enter hope you win, and to Elise, feel better sweetie and I hope that all these poems written for you help you along your long path of lifes trials and tribulations. You will make it through. i can tell by the way your friend describes you, you are a strong little girl. rminds me alot of myself. but i was at the age of 8. so you will survive. and when you get a chance if you want to talk im here to listen. i would love to help you out and even take the time to do so. god bless you sweetie.
-
No, because this is about Elise, I didnt limit pre writes, the only thing I asked is that they were age appropriate!
Like I said: If you enter a prewrite, I'd like an original piece but it is NOT required!
Criss -
i noticed there were a lot of prewrites so i decided i would write one especially for Elise, it is even entitled Elise...i hope she gets my message, winning this contest isn't the goal i was trying to accomplish...helping her means so much more...thanks for hosting and the best of luck to everyone
take care
-Darkness- -
Thank you My Dear!!
-
THanks for considering my poem a silver trophy, i have been anticipating this contest for awhile now, and i'm so glad that she and you enjoyed my poem...thanks again..
God bless
-Darkness- -
Thank you for the trophy Criss, I'm glad to hear Elise enjoyed all of the writes. There were a lot of great works entered and I am honored to have been among them. God bless to you and Elise. Take care and Have fun. Steve
