Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 18, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Thank you to everyone who entered. I did not know what to expect when i posted it and i have been alternately pleased/amused/dumbfounded!

    I apologise for the time it has taken to judge - more entries than i usually get which was lovely. I was disappointed at the number of entries that had not been proof read or spell checked which became a frustration in the end!
    I have blind judged - and this time it has been hard to know the voices unlike previous contests where i probably could guess!

    Apology

    I apologize for the double posting. This is a great contest. A challenge to write on one word alone. Please accept my apology. Thank you!

    I lost my innocence

    the day,
    I realized,
    I wasn't.

    What a pity that you do not want prewritten poems... For I have something that would fit precisely.
