    I loved this contest...The entries were amazing....There were a copuple of you that had brilliant entries but unfortunatly the word count was off, but I WOULD not change those great poems If I were you for the sake of a contest! ...

    I chose the 3 plus 5 HM which touched me most while still in keeping with the prompt and displaying poetic device...

    You all exceeded my expectations and I wish I could have given out more points and awards. They are well deserved...
