"DEAR BLANK CHALLENGE" PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS AND REPOST TRY TO KEEP IT GOING:  HELLOPOETRY "DEAR BLANK" CHALLENGE SECRET SANTA POEMS EXCEPT NOT SECRET AND NOT SANTA RANDOM ACT/POEM OF KINDNESS STRANGER POETRY APPRECIATION

I thought it might be nice to do like a secret santa thingy on hellopoetry only not secret and not santa… what I mean is, find a random stranger you literally have never met and do NOT know at all whose poetry you like and spend actual time genuinely reading their work, picking out your favorite lines and responding to them, pondering them, etc. Write something positive to them and post it as a poem with their name in the title. The “DEAR BLANK” challenge only you put their name instead of “blank”. I think we could all use a little recognition that we exist and are worth something since everyone seems a little depressed on here (including myself) which is fine, it’s a great outlet but it would be nice for people to just spontaneously find that a random stranger spent time in their life just to recognize you and care about your poetry. To write a kind poem/letter to them responding to lines in their poetry. If you need an example I just posted DEAR IMALRIGHT which was exactly what I meant. Check out imalright's poetry btw it is amazing.
I plan on doing for more than one person and I'd love for you to do the same. Spread a little kindness, we could all use a little.
Also message me if you are going to do the challenge and message the stranger you do the DEAR BLANK challenge for so they know to look for and read your poem.
I just thought that Imalright who was a perfect stranger to me seemed like a wonderful poet and a wonderful person based on her poetry so I chose her.
You do that too if you accept the DEAR BLANK challenge.
INCLUDE DEARBLANKCHALLENGE AS A HASHTAG IF YOU DO THE CHALLENGE SO EVERYONE CAN FIND THEM
please repost this over and over so we can get as many people involved as possible and try and make a difference in a couple people's lives because I just want to make everyone feel loved but I'm just one girl, I can't do it alone. Please help me with this and join me in the DEAR BLANK challenge. Take time out of your day to properly appreciate someone's poetry who you do not know.

PLEASE REPOST LET'S GET EVERYONE INVOLVED!!! ;D
THANKS!

DEAR BLANK CHALLENGE
Liliana Jaworska Nov 2014
Remember to pray for those who do not see the meaning of life.
Devote them time, let them witness will to live.
Doctor of the soul should control the situation.
Let's not get tangled up in emotional blackmail.
We are not able to give what we do not have inside.
What can you give to another person
when you do not carry in yourself faith and hope?
The lack of meaning in life and the desire to commit suicide
need a serious  medicine not usual 'tomorrow will be better',
rather 'I will wait and pray with you until sun comes out, rain does not last all eternity'.
Hope brings us to God, belief that He directs everything with heart filled with love.
In moments when illusion of self collapses let's guide people to God.
Let us pray for those who doubt in God to experience His love.
God forgives sins, and there is  hope for all human beings.
God wants to heal our minds and souls.
We are never left alone.
Everyone experience life situations that overwhelm him.
Struggling with difficulties requires humility.
Life with problems, therefore, makes sense.
Let's assume  sins and weaknesses of others showing the face of loving God.
Let's pray for them, take them together out of abyss of darkness
and blind alleys which seem only to deepen the state of despair.
If you have something to offer, do not be afraid to help.
Woman wants monogamy;
Man delights in novelty.
Love is woman's moon and sun;
Man has other forms of fun.
Woman lives but in her lord;
Count to ten, and man is bored.
With this the gist and sum of it,
What earthly good can come of it?

she gazed upon her with sadness and grief,
when will the demons set her free

she sing lullabies beautiful melody,
a weapon she sees for her sweet katie

oh mama i wish it could be that easy

I have always felt familiar with the stars—
the nights I’m saddest,
happen to be the nights they are brightest.
And it leaves me to wonder
maybe there is an afterlife
in the sky
but not in Heaven,
except among the stars.

Don’t you find it all too curious
that the population of people
who have ever existed on Earth,
is all too similar,
to the amount of starry specks in our sky?

And why is it,
that each time a friend of mine has passed
I notice something brighter
among the clusters in space.

If this is the after life,
waiting,
I’m no longer afraid.
