  • Final notes:
    Every one of the entries was over the top good ~ I really wanted to take my time enjoying ever word of every piece presented. If I could give out a dozen Gold, Silver and Bronze trophys I would had... because MANY poems presented here definately deserve to be awarded

    -- more than just an HONORABLE MENTION! --
    SERIOUSLY!

    Yes, I shouted that... because I sincerely mean it! Your work REALLY is amazing ~ what fabulous muses you all have!

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for entering ~ Usually in my contests it is pretty clear cut those who stand among the top... this contest ~ was much more than that for me. -- I hope you had fun.

    Gold - Silver - Bronze was chosen because they stood out to me in a different way, yet fitting with the contest. But, please let me reinterate -- There are MANY others within this contest that 'also' deserve this award... but I only am allowed to give three. ... Wow... You've so impressed me...

    Thank you

    RE: rule 6

    Isn't there something in the site rules that says no entrant can be required as a contest rule to comment on others' poems?
