Each year, we conduct the Putting Our Heads Together Poetry Contest to bring together people with AND without Migraine disease and headaches to share our thoughts and expressions. This contest is held in April, National Poetry Month.

Selecting the winners is difficult at best because they're all "winners." Yes, that sounds trite, but it's true. Every poem is a bittersweet piece from the heart — expressing the pain, anguish, and loneliness that Migraine disease and headaches engender. Still, the hope shines through in many of them.

Without further ado, this year's winners are...

Check Out the Winnders & all of the poems!

PS: Special congrats to MaxJerz!

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.

Oh SPLENDID!

What wonderful poetry!

I wasn't able to blog the contest but I can blog the winners.



Edit: Hey Teri, can I use the "Putting Our Head Together" badge on my blog in my column about the winners? Just in the column about the winners, I mean, within the column itself.
