Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 12, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 9 people
- Final notes: Hey guys,
this was a great round. Overall, the entries were really strong and profound. Because all of you made the top 12, all of you have been rewarded at least HM for this round. 12 poets currently stand; 5 poets for Metaphormosis, and 7 poets for Symbolicosis. Which team came out with the win? Here are the results…
[[Metaphormosis]]

9.5 - 9.2 - 9.1
flatline: [27.3]
9.3 - 9.0 - 9.0
Lucy Sky-diamond [24.3]
8.3 - 7.6 - 8.4
Tam Lin: [23.8]
8.0 - 7.8 - 8.0
Dark Whispers: [23.3]

[[Symbolicosis]]
Catauthor: [27.4]

Raazi: [26.6]
9.1 - 8.8 - 8.7
olly olly oxen free: [26.1]

Lostintheshadows33: [22.4]
8.1 - 7.1 - 7.2
Average score for Symbolicosis: 25.4
As you can see, Metaphormosis has the lowest average score, therefore they are the losing team. The bottom two for Metaphormosis are
Dark Whispers
[12th place]
and
Tam Lin
[11th place]
Both of you are blessed to have such ingenious ideas and creativity. Never stop writing, and keep on going with it. You both have very special talent. Good luck outside of the contest.
Ten of you remain…and all ten of you have made it to the MERGE. This is when both teams merge into one group of individuals. Eliminations will work differently; now, everything that has happened in the past will be weighted in when you are in the bottom three. Most importantly, it’s now every man for himself.
Next round should be posted within the hour. I will send the link via group IM.

Hahaha is it just me, or am I merely skating by here?
Anyway, interesting prompt. I'm looking forward to being inspired. -
-
It's possible, but you have worked for it, and earned your way here. Even if you're just crawling, you're still improving; and that's most important.
-
-
Haha, that's true, that's true. As I was looking at the scores last night, I was sure I was done. I was thinking, damn, I'm done but at least I went out with a fight. Having yet another chance to improve was really a blessing. Hopefully I won't merely scrape by yet again!!
-
-
Try not to scrape by, but try to aim for #1. I know you can do it. Like I said
"Being creative, fluent, concise, cohesive and passionate is key"
If you do that, you should do well; even if you end up being eliminated.
Good luck.

I don't think I'm improving
but I like the prompt
-
-
You should improve this round. :]
-
-
I'm gonna join the low self-esteem club here...
Once I think I'm improving there's always something else to work on. One step forward, two back.
-
-
well I think I'm gonna start the 'you guys are so blind' club. Y'ins rock, as they say in Pittsburgh.
-
-
is a little bit of religion allowed?
-
-
Of course.
I'm open to anything.
-
-
Oh God, short poetry. I might as well shoot myself now.
-
hey, should we put our names in the AN?
-
ah, the poem wasn't long enough...I couldn't put in the religion bit.
-
ahhhhh! nineteen hours!
-
Yuck, yuck, yuck I hate my entry my muse is totally annoying me by leaving me when I need it the most

It's okay, makes sense.
I have extended the deadline for two more days. Raazi is suppose to enter. Hopefully you will too.
-
-
Our we allowed to edit our pieces in this time???
-
-
Yeah. Might want to make a note about the major changes. I'll rescore if there's a dramatic difference...but you gotta message me or I'll probably forget to rescore.
-
-
-
Udit [raazi] has entered, so might want to hurry up..

-
-

Ahhh, once again I make it because my team won. I owe my being here to all of you guys. Thanks. I mean it. I get another opportunity to try and prove that I am worthy of making it this far.
-
-
Yeahhh. But you know what, maybe it was meant to happen. I know you have it in you to do an awesome job. Just think metaphor, imagery, and creativity. :]
-
-
Thats true. I am a strong believer in the saying "Everything happens for a reason". Maybe it's because this next round I will be extremely inspired and write something absolutely beautiful. The sun will come out, the birds will sing... haha okay maybe not so much =]
-
-
-
Grrrrr
That bronze color is starting to sting.
:S:S -
Hehe. I joke. Thanks for the trophy.
-
