All three will continue on through the next few contests, but each time, the top writer will get points. There will be no further elimination and the challenges will sort themselves within the pen that plies to paper. It means that any of you three have the ultimate gain of all the points, but along the way, one may rise while one bears the weight of point-loss and nothing more. All of you are the Elite. The beginning contest held invitation to all of my favorites of favorites. You are the ones who rose and met the challenge, satisfied the requirements, and touched me most deeply. And so, on to challenge number seven, and the points to go with it.
Visual Stimulation – gold (1000) and silver (700) only - visual stimulation, can give you an intellectual idea with a poetic edge, then the idea takes form as language.
Choose one of the pictures and do some intuitive writing.

If you are finished with your poem..let me know and I will clsoe the contest and we will move on to the next.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 16, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 700
- Final notes: I must get this judged....we have a widcked storm, this way coming....and the thunder is bellowing as I finish this.
These poems are heavy in a good way. The poets are strong poetic voices that needs no criticism nor judging, to be honest...they are all perfect. Therefore, I am forced to make my damnable decision..... that one might have struck me deeper than another.
So, all three move on to the next challenge and then on to the finale...which will be a true challenge..and I would be challenged to do beyond measure. (Just a hint)

Congratulations to the three of you INCREDIBLE poets. I do not envy Carol in having choose between you. I have been honored to write along side you and can't wait to read what you come up with next!
Carol, it has been a great experience to be involved in this contest series. I entered to force myself to make time to write at an otherwise hectic time, and I am so glad I did, and that you offered the opportunity. I always appreciate your opinion and encouragement as I'm sure the other poets do. Thank you again for being such a gracious and inspiring host.
