  • Final notes:
    After much inner debate about the final order, I have judged the contest. This was a very hard contest to judge. I decided to up the points and create one more slot for a HM, normally I only have two HM's for my contest. I truly enjoyed reading all of the poems entered and hope that you guys keep up the great writes. Thank you everyone for entering. Peace.

    With all due respect, but you mispelled Beowulf. It's with a "u," not an "o." Just letting you know. =)

    And I have bookmarked the contest since I do love that quote very much.

    I really liked Beowulf. I know most people hate reading it for school, but I loved it. Of course I get into all that Anglo-Saxon and Old English literature. I would enter, but I'm swamped as you well know. Best of luck all the same!
