Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 8, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 7000, Silver: 2000, Bronze: 2000
- Final notes: Thank you everyone for making this contest one of the greatest successes I've had here at All Poetry. The first entry set the bar high, and every single one of you lived up to those expectations with wonderful and thought-provoking pieces of written art. Chosing the finalists was a thorough process, and we found our jobs difficult but entirely enjoyable. These three pieces spoke to us both on personal levels, but more than that, the technique, style and presentation were clean and exceptionally thought-out. Both Jaunty and I thank you for some of the best reading either of us has had the pleasure in which to indulge ourselves in a long time. This contest was to honor each of you, whose work I've already come to appreciate and respect via your natural talent and drive to improve. It's been more a pleasure than you can know, and I hope to see you in my next contest.

Wow, there's some really incredible poets on this list. I'm going to take a couple days so I can work up something decent ;-)
-
Holy Crap, did you see how many points this is for?
I need to bring out my big girl panties. -
-
LMAO I've got some to burn, so figured why not.
-
-
You could, you know...just give 'em to me. I'm hoarding them under the pretext of one day holding a contest that doesn't suck (most of my contests suck).
-
-
-
-
ooooooo .....thank you! what a list

I will most definitely try..
-
-
Lol Yep, I'm sure

-
LMAO Now now, don't let the points skeer you
-
-
I shall take many tranquilizers and see if I can induce stupor.. lol .. that ought to take care of the points eh?
seriously ..I'm honored to be included...
-
-
-
-
-

Indeed. That oversight has been rectified I was just introduced to her writing a few days ago, and really liked it.
-

-
-
-
Thankyou very much for the invite,am bookmarking!Good luck with this

Great Cast
Curtain Call

This oughta be one heck of a contest. Definitely bookmarking this one for reading pleasure.
PS: In regards to judgement time, I don't envy you at all lol. -
xxx
-
Wow. What a list. There's a couple that I haven't had the pleasure of reading, yet. Now I'll have to skip over and check out the rest of the competition.
Thanks for the invite. I'll try... I'll try. -
Thanks for the invite....... Look at the number of points AMD the list!! Good luck on this one.
~ Nicolette
-
oohh yes.... i shall polish my knobs...
-
Hey~yo - I have a song I'm working on, if I can get hold of a mike I might put that in? I'll hold off on posting it 'til that happens, so, this is acknowledgement and a 'yeah, I've something set aside for you' in case that takes a while ^.^
-
-
Cool beans. I'll be waiting
-
-
well okay here's the thing...my boyfriend just dumped me and I thought I should tell you because you have this contest going and I thought I would release my feeling and write ren-on sentences and use and a lot and just keep typing.
Actually, everyone else had commented and I felt left out. Oh, and, by the way, for anyone so kind to wonder...my boy friend did not break up with me. He left me for another girl, but we're still together. Thanks for asking. -
So Nam backed out...Well , I can tell you one thing this looks like a damn impressive contest and one that I shall certainly stir over. And at least now I know where that big 20,000 contest went. Half back to him and the other half to you. I am horrified at the judging process of this. Glad it's not me.
- James
-
-
lol Yeah, he had some things come up, so he's letting me take the reigns on this one
And I agree... judging is going to be a nightmare I think. I might have to recruit another judge or two for the process. lol -
-
Of course in the end maybe I would rather help judge this mother than simply enter...Mmmmm....I know I just said I wouldn't want the responsibility...But , I wouldn't mind helping out if you'll have me. At least the weight could be shifted back and forth and hell , I might even leave little comments on some of the entries. It's up to you dear.
-
-
I'd love it! Consider yourself elected to the judges table. lol
-
-
Yippy! And then it is. I shall take part as a side judge and you can feel free to poke me with a stick around the time you want to judge and we'll discuss and prattle about what we think , Etc. is there anything specifically you would like me to do as of right now? Besides rub your lovely poet toes of course.
-
-
lol My neck is kinda sore, now that I think about it
But nope, right now, you can just sit back and enjoy the entries as they come in. Feel free to comment or not (they'll all get a comment from me anyway). And I'll bug ya when it's time to judge
-
-
Well the neck it is. *rub rub rub rub rub*...Hey that could lead to other things you know...
I will do my part and certainly try to make this smoother. I can't promise I'll comment on everything , But I shall help judge this mother when it comes down to the process of elimination. Which reminds me...Will we be putting together a finalist list as it goes? Or no. Maybe we should discuss this through IM as not to give our secret formula away.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Bummer. I thought you were judging this alone.
Oh well.
Thanks though for having me on your fave though.
-
-
I hope you do decide to enter.
Take care ,
James
-
-
Thank you for the invite, I will try my best to enter!
-
*Bookmarked*. It's very flattering to see my name up there - I'll try my best. Barbie. Xx
-
Thank you for the invite, I'll think of something for the contest as soon as possible.
-
quite an impressive list of poets ... i think i'm gonna need another 30 pack and start drinking at 4 am instead of 5 ...
-
-
Under such conditions, I expect a masterpiece!
-
-
that message scared the hell out of me ... i hate when people are hiding ... and i am not familiar with the term "masterpiece" what the hell does that mean?
-
-
lol I commented my ass off for this free week of gold membership, and I'm using all those goodies as long as I can.
I was watching Masterpiece Theater on a public access channel, so I think it has something to do with drama and literature. -
-
ok ... i'll start drinking more ... *cheers*
-
-
-
-
-
Thank you very much! I bookmarked this, and hope to remember to enter.
-
-
Yippy!
-
-
thank you, working on something (:
-
hmm, i'll brainstorm during my long boring day of work tomorrow. =D
-
Yo ~ d'you want another? Lyrics too, melody-less but I like them better, actually, than 273K. Just wondering if you'd rather single-entries ^.^
-
-
Yep, sticking with the single entries this time around
-
-
Key-doke. Can I send you the .mp3 of 273K ?
-
-
-
intimidating.
-
This is quite a list of poets. " Eat the Liver" a gut wrenching poem got me to check this contest out, though I am
not on the list ---
it is impressive and a good portion of the poets I read here are on it. I will continue to check back , good luck with all your reading!! kat
-
so is the gate still likely to be open by the time this weekend rolls around?
-
-
lol Yeah. It'll be open for another couple weeks I imagine
-
-
Here's my excuse to
really work at something. [hoping for more time.
Feelin' like a winner just makin' the list... -
-
Hey there pal. Yes you better enter...This is your chance to win a lot of points. Plus , You love me...Even if I am just a lowly judge...lol.

My God Nicole
I think you may need more than a big plate here.... I think a platter will better serve you. Being you will have a lot to digest. I hope you have a big appetite to swallow the variety of gourmet placed before you. Ill keep the alka-seltzer ready and an extra size 20 bloomers for you to wear after all is said and done..LOL
Mal
-
-
Make those bloomers a size 22. LOL
-
-
Ok size 22 it is.. how about crotch-less? What’s your favorite color too?
-
-
I'll admit it... my favorite color is pink.
I feel so ashamed now. -
-
Errrrrrrrrr
You should be the only thing pink you should like is your hiny after a good spanking...
-
-
I know, I know. I disgust myself sometimes.
-
-
-
-
-
-
getting back from my vacation in 2 days...sheesh...hope i make it in time
-
So I have one more day to come up with greatness!!!
-
I didn't chicken out..
Yay me!
-
-
Lol Glad to hear it
-
-
I so wanted to write something for this contest, but it's been all work and no play, lol...and you know what that makes someone...and no good poetry. Perhaps next time
-
-
I'll be hosting another one soon when I get up the points, for those who weren't able to enter this one So you'll have a chance.
