Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 3, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 2000, Silver: 1000, Bronze: 500, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: An anonymous helper I trust gave no comments for the judging. I, Ron, have given lengthy opinions as to my feelings about each poem. They are remarkably different in style, I must mention. More so than normally and that is a good thing. I do not know who is male or female even and I can often detect that ~ not that that influences me ~ I think with my head.
GOLD: The poem, "Imagination's Flight" for lots of reasons including adventurism.
SILVER: The poem, "Temperate Fibers" for a flight I enjoyed.
BRONZE: "The Base Line". From the framing, I have an idea this poet entered two poems and that is quite okay.
SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TROPHY WINNERS. I hope you three agree with my placements. If not, throw a rock through my window!!!
Three honorable Mentions in order:
(i) Imagine.
(ii) Heat of the Day.
(iii) Word Painter.
Thank you to the six of you. I am quite definite about the placings. It was certainly not six of one and half-a-dozen of the other!
Lyndon on behalf of Ron and X.
