Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 30, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 40, Bronze: 35, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    This is the first contest that I have held where every single entry deserved a trophy. You all wrote some amazing poems. I had a hard time trying to put them in order for gold/silver/bronze, because they are all worthy of gold in my opinion. Thank you for entering.

      Your rhyme is definitely never a crime. Pedestrian rhyme is unimaginitive, and unmetered. Your rhyme is the opposite of pedestrian, it is downright... motered (would that be the oppsite of pedestrian?)
