It all points to rhyme

This contest will be for Rhyme only

Any subject, barring cutting or self harming

I will for only the second time in setting contests Judge this one myself

I have many Favorites. To them i say I will not be reading any of your work until i have judged this contest so to be fair

I will read and award applause as i go but not comments this i hope to do once i have judged
In that way i hope not to have an idea as to who the poet is

If you have a habit of adding your name as copyright at the end of your poem could you please edit to do this after the contest Thank you

only one poem per poet Thank you

HM will be awarded 100pts each


ALL POEMS WILL BE READ AGAIN BEFORE JUDGING SO IF YOURS IS NOT ON THE PRELIMINARY LIST THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL NOT BE


ANY COMMENTS MADE NOW BY ME MAYBE REPLIED TO AS I NOW HAVE THE WINNERS IN MIND. AND UNLESS THERE ARE ANY MORE ENTRIES ON THE LAST DAY THIS WILL NOT ALTER
THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING SUCH WONDERFUL WORKS

    This is a contest for me I guess, if only I could come up with a subject. I have bookmarked it, so who knows.... Gosh, you are very generous with your rewards; that should not be a problem lol.

    Congratulations to all the winners. Well deserved. Your contests always attracts so many talented poets. Excellent choices. You obviously gave each entry a considerable amount of thought. Well done. You gave my lethargic muse a little push. Thanks. ~ Sue
