Quickie Cult - Round 5

Only eight poets remaining:



Gaylene (AliceinPoetryLand)
Kavi (a m a t e u r)
Candy (Karamel Kandy)
Katie (kkatie55)
Esha (neon twilight)
Liz (peliroja)
Holly (PhantomsEcho)
Stefanie (x Empathic Rose x)



What to do:
Pick a time of day, and capture a moment. You could be as general as 'late afternoon' or as specific as 7:04am. The time itself doesn't have to be in your poem.



Must be 50-60 words long. I'm not counting and I trust you on this one.



Also:
Please put your name in author notes.



Please have it done and submitted by Sunday 4pm my time.
[This was originally due Saturday, but Esha has asked for an extension ]
Take a look here to work out what time that is for you: http://allpoetry.com/board/topic/268548458



At the end of this round, one more of you will be eliminated. Best of luck!

  • Final notes:

    Welcome to the end of another round, my lovely poets.
    It was interesting to see how nearly all the different times of the day gave strong images of sky. The sky is so impressive and beautiful, and very fitting for poetry.


    Tonight, based on scores from all rounds, another poet is being eliminated. Please help me in congratulating this talented girl.



    Placing eighth in the Quickie Cult

    Katie




    Katie, your poetry is brilliant, always short and sweet. You're such a lovely lady and I'm sad to see you go now. Best of luck outside this contest.

    Well, I guess I've learned a lot in the past few rounds: one, the judge most definitely hates rhyming (as indicated by the comment on my last piece); two, the winner of the last two has been the same person--the same style; three, the judge doesn't like to see words repeated; four, my scores are really low, which means my chances of being eliminated this round are very likely.

    Good luck, everyone. I just thought I'd let you all know that, when I get eliminated, I'll still be reading what you write...and perhaps donating some points.

    Kudos.

      Hey, life's all about learning things. And for the record, I only grade with my humble and human opinion; I'm no professional. Really, I'm only some random on the internet.

      These contests are for fun, Holly. It's meant to be fun for the contestants and for me, otherwise I wouldn't bother with the hosting.

      Thank you again for your donation of points. It's very much appreciated.

        Trying to get that across to some people can be as painful as breaking your back sometimes. (Most definitely not directed to Holly; just wanted to make that clear to avoid hurting anyone)

          Yes, and I don't plan on breaking my back any time soon.

            HAHA, noooooooo, it wasn't for you either. How's my user name cursed? I am NOT changing my user name for at least a few days (well, technically, I can't do it anyway...but still).

        Did she tell you that she was going to be going away?

          She's just let me know that she's not well, and doesn't know when she'll get her entry in.

              Still deciding at the moment. I think I'll give her 'til Wednesday at the most. I'll send 'round a group note soon-ish.

                Cool with me. I hope she gets to feeling better. Poor girl. I don't mind waiting for her entry at all. I wonder what the others will think. I mean, she's terrific. She's definitely worth waiting for.

    Wow. I won silver? Cool. Good job, Liz...KK...great jobs on your trophies as well. I felt like I was in a race, so...now I can safely wipe my sweat off.

    Thanks for silver. Bye-bye, Katie...you will be missed.
