Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 19, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 400, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    it has taken me three days to judge this...three days of reading and rereading such excellent entries. It was my pleasure to enjoy such well written poetry, and my biggest headache to choose! As always, I wanted to give everyone points but finally decided on the top six. My congratulations to everyone for a job well done, and to the winners - outstanding! Love, Lane

    I would have entered this (extemporised 5am 15/9/08)

    .












    right here was my prairie and it was golden
    it swayed as it danced to wind-kisses
    the only music of the heart’s glad step

    yesterday the stubble burned as I slept
    hard men rattled at the drill and the harrow
    where wheat was is greyed-out to sky

    still I cling to a stubborn year or two
    watching others float like outworn ideas
    my fingers so numb I forget to say goodbye

        I adore my cousin Lane, but sometimes time-zones suck.
