I read all of the entries... I don't know how you judged! They were all sooo good... compared to the top three mine was... well, they just cannot be compared! Good contest. I liked your rules "no cutting, emo or writing dumb". Thank goddess; there are enough of those poems and contests out there. I was happy to enter an intelligent contest. Another smiley face-
