Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I"
~"Learning to Fly" -by Pink Floyd

    HI brilliant poets with feathers!

    TY so much for participating.
    We did not get the number of entries that we has hoped to, but the ones that we got were amazing.
    Scott and I agreed that all should be rewarded due to the wonderful quality of each piece!

    We came to a mutual agreement on the top 3 and it was a difficult choice. It is a good thing that we have similar tastes

    Congrats to all and we appreciate your willingness to participate!
    I am having another with the same points as this one but I will give you some time before I post it...

        Okay, well, the first poem I wrote for the contest was removed because I added the second one I wrote, so now it's a prewrite. But that's okay. The second one I entered is pretty good (to me anyway *laugh*), so it's okay. lol
