I won Poetic Whisperer's PIF contest with this entry:
http://allpoetry.com/poem/3934461
and I am honored to host this contest; I request the Gold winner to host a similar contest and I will send 660 points to assist the process...so that the next contest will have the same point value as this and winners keep their points.
The prompt is :
Change
Twenty five words or less
twenty entries max.
Any style- creative use of lines and the page strongly encouraged.
Meaningful words, imagery, narration and metaphor are indeed possible in twenty five words.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 19
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 6 people
- Final notes: The judging was initially based on subjective appeal but then everyone got into the finals, so I had to get technical and discern the elements of style and rank according to the overall artistry that I saw in each piece…creativity was given some extra weight. I then gave up and added more awards because they were close, this is a quik contest …and life is short.
My selections from this excellent group are :
Fresh Awakenings – Gold
simply excellent and skillful free verse, the best combination of skill, message, and poetic devices.
The change of hues~ Silver
a very appealing voice here, sense of wishing to reconcile with everything around us.
time – Bronze
Quirky little poem that had a fresh view, change and not changing…routines that keep us, a fresh and creative approach.
To Blossom~ Emerald Award
simply beautiful an exploration of love and tenderness.
Change – Emerald Award
there is a unusual use of words here that gave a freshness to this poem, so appealing.
toddler isn't a modern history - Emerald Award
symbolism and imagery here, some wonderful depth of thought here.
In The Balance- Emerald Award
natural cycles of change so well done here.
Like us - Emerald Award
Clever imagery a frayed book, change, and attitude… enjoyed this a lot.
Seasoned Remembrance- Emerald Award
wonderful beauty of words and phrasings here stood out for me.
Thanks to all who filled up this contest so quickly, and gold will receive the bonus points as soon as I find out who you are...PK
