Dear blogging family,

I’m feeling elated and top of my world to hear that my poem “My Victory Song” got the 1st place in the “NAMI NJ Dara Axelrod Expressive Arts 2018 Mental Health Poetry Contest” among the 10 shortlisted finalists. The award function will take place on June 09,2018.

I would really like to thank each and every one of you who voted and supported me. This was my first attempt in any poetry competition and I could not believe the results.

Thanks a lot for all your encouragement and support.

Happy blogging!!

Megha Sood

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

  10. I can only see such competitions as devaluing towards the purpose and impact of writing about mental health. Save the prizes for poems about flowers and trees, and give all about mental health and the writers’ equal merit for their bravery.

      1. Ah, so at least it is in aid of something good. I’ll likely always be less enthusiastic than most about this kind of thing, but I’m not a fan of pretty much any awards.

  33. Congrats again, you are amazing Megha and truly a brilliant poet. I’m so glad I can across your blog via Christine. I wanted to ask you something. One thing I try to do each month (or 2-3every 2 months) is a writer blogger interview.

    You can check out Lynn Love’s recent interview on the Go Dog Go Cafe reblogged or in my blog http://www.mandibelle16.wordpress.com. I would love to interview you and learn more about you as a person and a writer as I know many others would too.

    If you’re up for filling out some interview questions, send me an email to mandi_ae@hotmail.com and I can send you the questions. I do tend to change the questions up according to your answers in the final piece.

    Thanks so much & keep Publishing your awesome poetry 🙂
