Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 1, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1600, Silver: 900, Bronze: 765, Honorable mention: 30 people
- Final notes: wow. Ok, first I'd like to apologise for taking so long to judge this. Stuff came up over the winter break, and than I got swamped with school work when I got back to school. But I finally have decided on the winners.
There were so many wonderful poems here. This was definetly the hardest contest I've ever judged. If you got a HM please don't be dissapointed, getting a HM means I REALLY liked your poem. But there is only one gold silver and bronze trophie.
So thank you all for yoru wonderful entries. There are a couple of poems that don't have comments on them. My computer is screwing up, and for some reason it won't let me leave comments on some of the poems. So I'm really sorry about taht if it happened to you.
Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful christmas!

My apologies, I tried to enter a pre-write but the dropdown will not acknowledge it. It is in my Childrens list but for some reason not showing up here in the dropdown.
Here is the link: http://allpoetry.com/poem/942011

My apologies also... I also tried to enter a pre- write .. But it wouldn't show in the drop down..I hope this link will work ..http://allpoetry.com/poem/3641064.. Thanks

May I remind you that use of the letter "X" - the Greek letter "chi" as an initial or abbreviation for the name of the incarnated Second Person of the Trinity has been used since the scriptures were first written down.
And it is still commonplace among members of some religious orders - Benedictines, for example, round off their letters by signing themselves "In X-to et S.B
There are still many people who prefer NOT to profane His name by spelling it in full...
-
-
If you can not, for some religious reason say the word Christmas, THAN you may say X-mas. But those who say it just to be lazy drive me nuts

How excellent to find someone who takes a reasonable time to judge a competition. My personal opinion is that the Allpoetry limit of three weeks for judging is far too short!
