  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    I'm very happy with the turnout of this contest. At first there were only a few entries, but in the end it turned out well.

    There were several good ones in this batch. So many of you stirred me and had me musing on your poems. So thank you everyone. I hope you enjoyed it as much as me.

    Congratulations and I hope to see you in future contests of mine.
