- Contest was judged on December 4, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Thank you all for these wonderful poems. It was a joy to read them and comment on them. With some poets I even got the chance to discuss their poem, which is one of the nicest things for me of having a contest. We all learn a lot from that, the writer of the poem as well as the reader (in this case me!).
Judging was quite hard, because there was a big variety of poems (20). I looked at the contents/subject matter, how it was written, the flow when reading out loud, the rhyme, the creativity and what was done with the remarks I gave. You didn't have to change things because I said so (it's your poem; you have to do what you think is best!), but then I expect at least a reason why you want to keep it as you have written it. Fortunately most people did something with the remarks.
And then finally the results:
GOLD: Less life--More Meaning
SILVER: So much for my happy ending.
BRONZE: Click
HM: The End of Love
HM: The End of Me
HM: "Goodnight Song"
Thank you all for your participation.
I am sorry that I could not give a trophy to everybody. Good luck next time.
I have a new contest running right now. A very special one. So please have a look and join!
Anna.

Oh, this is so me!!! Better had kept my mouth shut. Lol. Thanks for your remark.
Changed it. Anna.

can it be pre-written?
-
-
I am sorry, I cannot allow prewrites now. 15 poets have already managed to write a new poem. It would be unfair to allow prewrites now. I hope you can understand this. You can put a prewrite in my contest "Energy" though.
Anna.

WOW thankyou for the silver!! And i changed mine because what you said was right, an outsiders view on a poem often makes you see where you went wrong in bits. Thankyou thankyou thankyou
