When I read the post in which all poems were included, I honestly thought why would someone vote for me😭😭😭😭
There were amazing poems here, the words which made me insecure... which made me question if I should've entered this or not. People have so much talent.
I love your poem Sanya - you absolutely deserve to be included! As a mother, so many parts of this piece had my heart in my throat. The ending hit me hard, and the words were wonderfully crafted. “I searched for ami, / through smoke and stone / but all I found / was ash and bone.” Beautiful and heart-wrenching.
thank you elzada! I'm not a mother myself but the thought of looking into the eyes of my children everyday and see the reflection of such war torn children in their eyes, makes me afraid.
❤️❤️❤️ I wish you knew how much I love my subscribers and the space in my subscriber chat. As well as comments like this. I was so happy when we chatted before
Oh my - I feel so incredibly honored, and grateful, for this opportunity and recognition. A huge thank you shout-out to Ink, Fire, and Rebellion for hosting us all here, and to all the readers who showed up to drink in all this creativity and celebrate our craft, and of course - thank you to all the poets here, who bring a much needed light to the world with their words.
I just feel so happy to have been included here with all of you. Cheers to a wonderful first contest, and for all the ones to come!
Thank you so much for participating Elzada! It’s wonderful to read your work as I was already subscribed to you, but hadn’t had the opportunity to read much of it! I hope more people can find it. You are very talented and humble!
You are too kind - I am truly just so grateful to be here in community with all of you, and grateful to have the opportunity to share my work. It truly means the world to me. A thousand times, thank you!
Oh my goodness! I just started the day with dozens of notifications and had to reread it all just to believe it. I'm incredibly honoured to be placed among such raw, evocative voices—what a breathtaking collection of work.
Heartfelt thanks to Cassian Delmare and Luciana Fisher for curating something so powerful with Ink, Fire & Rebellion. It means the world to be recognised in such fiercely poetic company. Truly, thank you so, so much.
What a beautiful collection of poetry to have all in one post. Thank you. Although, since written so well, they are tough to read. Touching, Mastery of words for these things.
The world needs all the poetry it can get, yours included. Keep on writing friend - I can't wait to read what else you bring into the world. Also, only your fourth poem?! You are just getting started :)

Incredible pieces, after reading them I almost felt like I shouldn’t have entered. Great work everyone.
No, not at all. Your piece was fantastic as well, and some people did vote for it as their favorite
You are too kind. I think my wheelhouse is more in my essays. But I will continue to okay. That was only the fourth poem I have ever written.
