Points for poems hardly seems like a fair trade but... if you really want to...

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on December 16, 2008
• Rewards: Gold: 800, Silver: 500, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 5 people
• Final notes:
  Heyy everyone!
  I wanted to thank everyone again for entering. Reading so many vastly different poems really taught me a lot about what sort of writing I enjoy the most. I was a little nervous not including any sort of rules but as the poems started coming in I knew I'd made the right choice. I absolutely loved seeing how unique everyone's writing styles were and I can honestly say I enjoyed every poem entered. Once again, thanks for entering, and take care!
