Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 29, 2003
- Rewards: Gold: 251
- Final notes: CookieZeal: Yes..this was hard to judge.Everyone had a different creative take on this, and I had to go with the ones who used the words as if they were nearly used all the time and in a unique narrative.There will be several who were close to 3rd and as a courtesy will receive some courtesy points. I wish I could have made it a tie, but then...I think a great big bump would grow on my finger..haha. Bless you all. Don't stop. Take a crack at every contest and don't depend on one. It's about sharpening, and not really about the points..allthough they ARE an incentive.
I'll be holding another one very shortly, so try again!! Thank you for your entries. Blessings, CookieZeal

I was unsure if the word satiny was meant to be sanity or not. Cause if it is meant to be satiny then some of the above need to change their poems as they have written them with the word sanity...Darianna x
-
Ok there you go, I hope you like it cause it was painful trying to remember it after I wiped it off by mistake! Lol...Darianna x
-
Yeah, I read it as sanity, too....but, changed it when LMM pointed it out in my poem
-
Lol. I read half the rules. Then wrote a poem that was humurous using those 5 words. Then I read that it had to be real, and shorter than 12 lines
Its still funny though! (Its claled How I took over hell) Lol.
