Since Lyndon celebrates his birthday this week (November 21st), it would be nice to give him a poem as a present for his birthday.
Therefore I invite all Lyndon's Favorites & Winklings to enter this contest.
Ron will judge this contest (75%) with me (25%)!
You can write anything for/about Lyndon in your favorite style and form. Have fun with it and please make Lyndon (Ron) very happy! Rewards: GOLD 500 points
SILVER 300 points
BRONZE 100 points
Honorable Mentions for all those who deserve it.
Good luck! The poem I once wrote for Lyndon is:

- Final notes: Thank you all for your entries in this special contest. I am sorry that only 9% of the Winklings have participated in this contest, but the positive aspect of it is that we didn't have to read, comment and judge more than 12 poems.
The points have been counted and there were 3 poems distictly at the top. In fouth place were 4 poems very close together and therefore I have decided to give them all an Honorable Mention.
The result of this Contest is:

BRONZE - For Lyndon, on occasion of his birthday, 2007
HM - Smiles for Ron
HM - T(w)oo Seas Apart

Thanks for the note and invitation, Anna! Ron is certainly deserving of accolades, and who better to give them than this excellent company!

Thanks for your nice words.
I think so too. Ron has helped so many people improving their poetry, that I thought it was time to put him on the spot. And what is a nicer opportunity than to do this for his birthday? I hope all his Favorites will enter, but I can only wait and see what will happen. lol.

Thank you Anna. You are a lovely friend indeed.
Oh, ALL WINKLING GROUP PEOPLE ARE MY FAVOURITES.
So, do not hold back if you feel tempted. Ron.

My party is at Flaxton on the 24th
at noon at 'Le Relais Bressan'. You are all invited. Get a plane to Brisbane and then to Maroochy Airport then order a cab. Hope to see you all dressed in your favourite hairstyles. 
Oh! At NOON. -
Happy Birthday
Lyndon, old chap.

Thanks Dr. Bradley. I am sure Ron will be very pleased with your Birthday Wishes. If he does not see this message, I will tell him about it.
Anna.

You failed my feast!
Drew, how could you!!!!!

I shall not critique at this place!
Not today or in this contest, here online.
But I shall acknowledge you all, personally, at the place of your poem. It is a humbliung experience.
I am only 70. Wait until I am 100!
-
I cannot really judge this so
I shall get Dr Bradley to do this. You understand, I am very close to you all. Too close! I have said what I wished to say and I thank you all from the core of my being. I have phoned him and he will get the results to Anna Emkah tonight. -
Thanks much Anna...and Happy Birthday to Ron, some more...congrats to the winners...Rich

Thank you!
Unusual, perhaps, for thanking someone for having a birthday
, but if hadn't been for this, we would not have had this interesting contest to participate in ~ and I wouldn't have won this lovely shiny trophy! 
So, thank you Lyndon, for having your birthday, and thank you to Anna Emkah for running the contest.
Thanks all round!
