Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 7, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank-you for the excellent entries. The top 4 or 5 were insanely hard to choose between and the list was continously moved. I had to go with my emotional connectivity to the piece, what it made me feel from the situation and how the situation was played out. I even consented ten thousand cicadas for a second opinion. I think I finally have the order the way I feel good with. Know that you've all created very enjoyable writes.

      You and your metaphors
      But you gotta love them
      as they are a savior when we want release
      but do not want everyone knowing at the same time.

          I make no promise hun.
          My muse seems to have run off on me as of late
          Plus I have been working more prose than poetry lately

            As long as it is poetical/lyrical I'd accept prose

    I would but I would stray off
