- Final notes: Hey guys
Thank you all for your wonderful entries in this contest! I really liked the originality when it came to the prompt... and you all did brilliantly...
The top eight are my favorites - and I hope that you take the time to check out their work (the HM's are roughly in order - but you have no idea how hard it was to judge!)
You are all wonderful poets and I hope to see you in other contests I host in the future!
Stay smiling everyone
Polly
