Short & Sweet and Really Upbeat {Edit}

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on March 13, 2007
• Rewards: Gold: 300
• Final notes:
  I would like to start off with saying thanks to the 44 of you who entered the second round. I was appalled that not even half of the 96 I moved on came, but I was more than pleased with what I saw.
  
  At first I didn't want to remove anyone, but I took a careful look and made a few drops. Those being dropped from the contest will be missed dearly. Some were on technicalities, while other reasons are various in way, shape, and form.
  
  There were some minor confusions about who was able to move on. I have re-edited the page with a list of who is moving on. If you are on that list, click the link provided and you will head off to the new contest. Or, if you click this link here then you will go to the new contest where the same list is provided.
  
  Have fun and good luck to all!

  I just took two verses off this poem so I could have ten lines - wish you had not had that pre-writes were allowed before, then I wouldn't have had to lose the original. Oh well, such is life...LOL At least no one else will have to go through this. Guess I am here to set an example...
