Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 1, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    this is a contest that begged not only for 4 places but probably 4 or 5 more deeper than that- I chose to stop at 4 because these 4 pieces could not be ignored-

    some fine writing from many wonderful poets made this contest incredibly enjoyable and difficult to judge

    3. melissa gayle
    4. suzanne dia



    thank you to everyone for entering - i really appreciate all of you

    we all know fish whisper about us and stare, they are always moving those fishy lips and cussing us out...that is the language of fish.

      mel- i thought it was a very well executed piece-


      i think your detractor while well intentioned was off on his assessment-

      i like the "simple/complex" approach your poetry has taken on

      nope-

      pretty much it was the
      blub blub and the proud cat that worked...

      it was an endearing piece
