- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
- Final notes: I had a real hard time judging this contest. I was quite clear about the top 2 poems, but after that I struggled as so many of the poems just made themselves sit in my eyes. Thank you for these wonderful entries - I loved them all - and I love you all for your support.
Congratulations to the winners!!
