Migraine can be a horribly debilitating disease as can other headache disorders.
They can leave us feeling very isolated and alone.
Why a poetry contest?
- Writing is a wonderful outlet for many
people with chronic health problems. It gives us the opportunity to express
feelings, and often helps us get some of the frustration out of our systems.
It's a very healthy activity for many of us.
- Sharing these wonderful works of art can
help express the fear, pain, and frustration of headaches/migraine in a way
that some people will understand better than they would a normal
conversation.
- To support each other while building
awareness among people who don't have Migraine or another headache disorder.
- To observe National Poetry Month
- Why not? :-)
I've been holding poetry contests since 2001.
There was a break in 2004 and 2005 due to some personal health issues. Here are
links to all the wonderful poetry people have submitted over the years:
Every year, I'll update this page and post
links to enter the most current contest. Entries are generally accepted in
February and March with the winners announced in April, in time for National
Poetry Month.
Please bookmark this page so you can keep up
with all the wonderful works submitted AND enter the contest yourself.
