We kill caterpillars, then wonder why there are no butterflies.

  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Finally, you all shout, the end of round 6! ; )

    I am awfully sorry for the long delay, and I feel very hypocritical for making you meet deadlines when I can't meet my own. Never the less, better late than never, they always say. Hehe.

    I have read all your poems many times over the judging period and have loved each of them more with every read.

    Scores for this round are as follows:

    (those who tied are in no particular order)

    Esha: 97
    Kavi: 97
    Holly: 96
    Candy: 95
    Liz: 94
    Stefanie: 94
    Gaylene: 94



    This brings us to yet another elimination. Based on the scores from all rounds, one of you is being eliminated.

    Placing seventh in the Quickie Cult

    is














































    Stefanie.


    Stef, you are a most beautiful girl and poet. Your words are always deep, thoughtful questionings of humanity. You are amazing. Best of luck outside this contest.
