Superb Idea!!!
Well M'Lord,
I think you have just done what every member on AP has hoped and dreamed of for
years; opened up a contest with out any restrictions at all!
This is such a fantastic idea, though I do not envy you or the judges when it comes to
reviewing all of them and find that one that stands out from the rest.
I also believe you will not get that many from each poet, just those for which the poets
feel are their best works.
I commend you for your efforts and your maturity for you have wisdom which far
exceeds your years. Take care my friend and thank you,
Rev. Alimae -
