  • Final notes:
    Hi Brilliant Poets..

    This one was almost impossible to judge....

    I wish I could give you all a trophy and points because you all deserve it with these beautiful entries....It was mind boggling even choosing 3 and 6 HM's....The 3 I chose which touched me the most were so beautiful and all made me sigh with wonder...

    The HM's are in no particular order and are truly all deserving of placing, but due to AP rules, I am not allowed to have a tie...

    The others are also worthy of mention....Thank you all !


    Until next time...

    Lynda
