in the small cup of my folded hands

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 4, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: I just want to say sorry for the length of time this took me to judge. I am wrapped up in some court proceedings right now, as well as looking for a new job and getting my kids ready to go back to school.
That being said there seemed to be a lot of confusion as to what I sought, and I was disappointed to see so many prewrites in this contest. However the ones that placed 1-4 were great, and I was happy to have received at least that many suitable entries!
Thank all of you for entering, and enjoy the rest of summer!
