  • Final notes:



    G'day Poets,

    Thanks to everyone for giving up your time to contribute your work for this contest. Everyone receives something, and congratulations to the top three trophy winners. The gold-winning poem was fandabbidoozie! Well done!

    I would encourage all entrants to read each others' work ~ there was a good variety with wonderfully interesting views and ideas. Great stuff!

    I'm sorry if you didn't like the way I critiqued your work ~ or indeed, that I didn't warn you in the contest notes. I received a smack on the wrist from one person (sorry!), so my unreserved apologies for that.

    Once again, thanks everyone ~ and keep those pens moving!

  9. Wonderous Dream
    It's a wonderous thing ... To stretch your wings... And dream of flight ... Soar sunny skie's so bright ... Joyous I will sing ... When given my wings ... And I can float like a kite ... Patients I hold with all my might ...
