burn beneath the moon

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on November 26, 2008
• Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200
• Final notes:
  
  
  Well dear poets I asked for excellence and I got it and then some. What beautiful poetry you all presented and such different angles and takes on this prompt.
  
  Truly, it has been an honor to read your entries and enjoy each one for its value.
  
  In the end, I elected those that voiced elegance in simplicity. If you have not read our top three yet, you owe it to yourself to do so.
  
  "Moonlit Walk" simply melted me while "last night i tried to remember your face" left my heart wanting and remembering places I have been. "Intimate Midnight" simply enchanted with beautiful words and wonderful flow.
  
  Thank you all and Congratulations to our winners!
