This is my 17th contest
Three main rules
1. Pre-writes only
2. The entry should have won a silver trophy
3. One entry per poet
4. Put something in your authors note about the poem
5. I highly encourage you to comment on other participating entries.
This time around you have a chance of winning the gold. I expect that all entries are beautiful because they have won the second prize before.
Have fun!
~VIRGOAN~
******************************************************
I am reading all the entries and will be giving comments on each and every entry.
FYI, even if I have made a comment I will still read the poem again for me to be able to choose the cream of the crop.
Thanks for your patience.
******************************************************
I AM STILL READING THE ENTRIES. I NEED YOUR PATIENCE AND YOUR TIME. I WILL BE READING THE OTHER ENTRIES THAT I'VE READ AS WELL.
I WILL BE ADDING HMs SEEING THE QUALITY OF THE POEMS SO FAR.
THANKS AGAIN FELLOW WRITERS.

P.S although my poem won the silver trophy in the most cherished Del Warren Livingston Scholarship Contest. the reason it doesn't dsplay the trophy is coz at that time u couldn't enter the same poem in two diff contests so we had to keep removing it from the contests once they were judged....i hop u understand
