Just thought I should let you all know that Scott will be with us this round (he actually had written his poem for part A but had forgotten to post the link!). All your entries were really fantastic- so thank you!
That means we have ten talented contestants for Round 3!
Gaylene (AliceinPoetryLand)
californiagirl
Scott (Griswold)
Kavi (i-Kavi-i)
Candy (Karamel Kandy)
Katie (kkatie55)
Esha (neon twilight)
Liz (peliroja)
Holly (PhantomsEcho)
Stefanie (x Empathic Rose x)
For this round, I want your poem to ask a question.
"I cannot expect even my own art to provide all the answers - only to hope it keeps asking all the right questions." ~ Grace Hartigan
It can be any topic/theme, but keep in mind I usually don't care for humorous poetry. Your poem can be as long or short as it needs to be, but it must be ONE sentence (ie no fullstops/periods) and it must end in a question mark.
Please don't abandon poetic devices. I'll be marking each of your entries out of 100, taking into account poetic devices, creativity, vocabulary, emotional engagement, layout/organisation, spelling, grammar, punctuation etc.
At the end of this round one, it will be narrowed down to nine contestants. Based on your scores of this round and previous rounds, one of you will be eliminated.
Deadline: Saturday 29th September 4pm (Australian EST)

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 30, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 30, Bronze: 30, Honorable mention: 7 people
- Final notes: ROUND 3 RESULTS
Ah, I love you guys. I was in such an odd mood tonight- warm, fuzzy & contemplative, so I'm sorry if my comments weren't making much sense at all. All your poems were amazing. Still are.
I know many of you ended up with the same score, so for deciding which of you got silver and bronze, I just went with my gut feeling. No complaining. =P
Today, one of ten poets must be eliminated. Based on this round and overall performance this nevertheless talented girl is just a few points behind.
Placing tenth in the Quickie Cult

California - your poems are always emotive. You've only been here at AP for a little under two months, you've already got seven trophies, and you're already brave enough to enter a rounds contest. You are amazing, girl. I wish you the best of luck outside this contest.
*hug *
The rest of you are moving on to Round 4. See you there!

What's our previous scores?
-
-
Second the question.
-
-
Tough!
-
Could you give us an example???
-
-
-
wow i totally missed round one.
oh well.
good luck to all.
-
-
haha.

Ok, if I get eliminated, here is the list of those I will stalk:
AliceinPoetryLand; Karamel Kandy; peliroja; neon twilight; and i-Kavi-i.
I would say Griswold, but he would probably take it as something more than stalking...he'd probably think I'm a sexual predator.
But, hey, aren't we all, really?
This has been fun...except the timezone thing...and I think everyone has done a terrific job.
If I get eliminated, I would also like to donate points for the contest. Is that ok?
I love all of you guys. I'll just stalk all of you.
-
-
LOL. Oh, please don't stalk me. Else I'll have to get a restraining order from Kevin . And a big fat LOL at the Griswold comment. Don't worry just yet; who knows, I might be kicked out. Hmm, then maybe I'd have to stalk all those people and you (except neon; cause we stalk each other everyday).
-
-
I can't help it if you've got skill. Kicked out...you? Ha. Ha. Hmm...no. Don't quite think you will. I'll stalk you...but no one will know unless you give them the link to this contest page and they see what I wrote.
-
-
HAHA, skill?!?!?!?
I'll bookmark this page and send it to the administration if I ever see you peeking into my virtual window while I'm watching Barney. *sings* I've got the power!
-
-
hahah, I'M going to be the Queen of all stalkers.
-
-
That's not fair! I wanna be the Queen of all stalkers! *sobs* Can I at least be the Princess?
-
-
NO. I am.
-
-
NA-UH. I am infinity. Beat that!
-
-
Mmmmm....
NO FAIR!!!
-
-
-
-
I've got another job. I've got another job. Nananananana!
-
-
Mine is STILL better. Period.
-
-
Nut-uh. Because I can clean you off the floor when you decide to pass out.
-
-
HEY! I don't drink, so I would most probably not pass out. So, THERE! Now, go get my socks, slave!
-
-
mine's still even better-er!
-
-
WELL, I'm in the succession.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
hey... why don't you be the (read comment below)
-
-
alright, you can be princess, but who will be the royal-floor-cleaner-person-assigned-to-many-demeaning-jobs?
We simply MUST have one of those! -
-
OHHHH, I have JUST the person for that. *looks at phantomsecho*
-
Mm...cool. I like that job way better. Cool. I'll be that.
-
-
LOL
yay! We're all happy in the end. -
-
Yep. Sure are.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
No one stalks me without my permission.
I have legal rights!!!
-
-
