Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 4, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    Thanks everyone for entering the contest, you really showed me a varied group of moments that slowed down for you. It came down to what I had in mind when I started, I wanted that 3 seconds that became a lifetime, and for me the poems I picked here were the best depiction of those moments.

    Thanks everyone ..again.. for entering.

    Quite a challenge Suzie... 25 words for a moment that one wanted to stretch to last a lifetime.... Will see if I can find those 25 words!

    Thank you Suzi. I cringe at the thought of the moment I penned. I simply let go of the steering wheel and things happened as they were going to. I do believe, had I tried to control the situation, I wouldn't be here today. I came out of the accident without a scratch. The car was totaled. It sat flat with "no wheels" beneath it.

    Thanks again! I am truly grateful that I don't have many "moments" like that one.


    Congratulations to all the CUP WINNERS here! Great choices!


    Much Love & Happy Holidays ♥
