Poetry Competition #14 - "The Magic of Memories"
Updated info and current entries list

The Theme
Your challenge is to think of someone you love, and a memory you have had with them this year, and use that memory or emotion as the inspiration for a piece of literature. You can go off on a tangent, or stick with a retelling of the story, its up to you. You might wish to give this to the person as a gift so try to think how you can make it appropriate for them as well as for a wide audience.

The deadline
JANUARY 12th at MIDNIGHT GMT. (the end of that day)
