There is a shade of blue
where the sky meets the sea;
where forever is but a moment
and hearts are meant to be.

In this round, Ken and I will be looking for a free verse poem
written to a specific prompt using a specific poetic device.
Your Prompt is: INDIGO
FREE VERSE: No "traditional rhyme"
Poetic Device: Solid Metaphor
THE RULES:
1. Proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation will count
2. Please, no sticky caps
3. No cutting, suicide, or self-mutilation
4. No erotica, tastefully sensual is ok as long as it fits the subject matter
5. Step out of the box and learn
OK - off you go now. Remember, it's ALL about the poetry.
Write and Learn!
ENJOY! I know we will. 
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 13, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 4000, Silver: 2000, Bronze: 1000
- Final notes:
It comes now to the end of round four of NO GREENS.
It seemed that solid metaphor and Indigo may have put people
on the spot a bit, however, we feel everyone penned well to
this prompt.
But that said, we must eliminate three wonderful poets in this round and move on to round five.
Today, we say goodbye to:
crystaldust
sunny day
R S Adams Jr.
All three poets leave us with a standing ovation for their skill and talent.
We wish them well, and will continue to follow their work as they continue to grace AP as skilled and accomplished writers.
Thank you all for your wonderful contributions and
participation in NO GREENS.
But the good news is yet to come as we announce the winners of round Four.
GOLD - Woad be Gone by paulcreates
SILVER - Bittersweet by yaong
BRONZE - Vision of Everyday [one mirror-no reflections] by Sulfane
Congratulations to our top three:
Round Five is next and can be found at this link for our remaining 9 players. Best of luck as we move on to the next round.

Thank you Tearz.
This round like the next three are so hard. It seems easier to pick the winners than it does to let some go. Everyone is so good. Thank you for adding such a warm note to this contest end as we bid farewell to three of the best.
