2 Purposely select a poet who might be less known or read.
3 Write a letter, note, song lyric, or a poem. (300 words or less)
4 Winners to be decided by votes.

Example of a letter:

Faithmairee,
Sometimes I find myself loving across the expanse of time and distance, smitten by the poetry of a soul I've never met. I’m thankful to have found the words of one whose spirit resonates with mine. You words touch my heart. You're a beautiful soul.

When I read your words, I feel like I’m kissing their meaning and feeling the love they hold. I’m fascinated by the connection I feel with your words, one that speaks to the timeless nature of human emotion and longing.

Thank you for the feelings you’ve stirred within me, for the thoughts you’ve provoked, and for the comfort your verses have given.
Sincerely, Lost Viking

Thank you for the early entry. Looking forward to learning of more from others, especially in praise of DUP poets that might not have a large following yet.
