Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 8, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 2000, Silver: 1030, Bronze: 500, Honorable mention: 1 people
- Final notes: Lyndon speaking objectively on behalf of Pamela and Eclectus:
(1) GOLD: "I Placed A Rose".
This, without question is the Gold winner. One may see immediately the paired rhyme couplet quatrains. Fine pALINDROMIC LINES SWAPPED IN EACH QUATRAIN. Elegant and strong! Congratulations, poet.
(2) SILVER: "Morph": Imagery good if a little predictable. The sonnet is not as fluent as it could be but you said it was an "attempt" and we congratulate you for that. Congratulations.
(3) BRONZE: "A Poet's Refrain.
No punctuation and language is simplistic. Even so, the attempt is promising for the form is truly difficult. Repetition of lines can become awkward without punctuation.
(4) Honorable Mention: Appalachians.
This is a promising triolet. The rhyme scheme is nearb perfect. Mechanically sound.
Congratulations to all of the above poets for their courage in attempting, publicly, form poetry.
