Poems Please

Update

I apologize for taking so long to get the contest judged. I have recently hurt my right arm and typing is a bit slow and painful at the moment. I want to try to comment on all of them so that you who do not have gold accounts will know your poem has been read and considered. Hopefully I will be able to finish this weekend.

Again sorry for the delay

      I have the box checked that says limit one entry per person, but it doesnt seem to show up on the contest write up. I added that to the rules. Thanks for asking

    Thank you so much for seeing my entry gold worthy. I never expected to be amongst the winners - especially not because there is quite some quality poetry in this contest.

    congratulations to the other who made it to the finalist list as well!
