  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering even though some of you didn't quite hit the mark as far as the theme.

    A special thanks to the Neonrose and Mairi bheag, there was something special and beautiful about each one.

    The top three as diverse as they are, are my favorites :

    Bronze to The Painting Poet for writing in the beautiful Sapphic form

    Silver to Vera Rich for the fullnes of imagery, and such beautiful language

    Gold to cricketjeff for the intimate, small moment he shared. This touched my heart


    Bonus points for top three and 2 HM's were added.


    Thank you all, again.

    anything about summer or just the solstice?
    • Something about or pertaining to the solstice would be nice...either the holiday or astronomical event. There have been oodles of summer contests.
