if you were the space where you write, what would you say -- either the room speaking of itself in an "I am" perspective, or about the room about the writer immersed within it.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 20, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: originality and poetic device, clear use of poetic device I should say with "care" were big for me in this contest.
if the poem rhymed - it was set aside a bit. if there were grammatical errors - again, a nit of mine that set some poems aside.
there were several that edged themselves a bit above the rest. it all came down to the overall package... it was just that simple, along with personal taste I guess (sorry for that to some as the poems were tremendous, but there was just something I identified moreso with in some versus others.)
anyway -- thanks so much to all who participated. And a special thanks to some who have not posted in some time (cough cough)... that I found their poetry here in this. I was quite honored by that and impressed by the entries. (If you get a chance please read "The Room" which has amazing eloquence.)
best wishes to all and please continue to pursue your writing endeavors whole-heartedly.
