(Sorry for the delay, one of the judges is on holiday so this will be judged when she returns)
Just passing on points to those who'll put it to good use
Your 'best effort' is all I ask for
Topic is up to you
5 H.M's will get 1000 pts each (might add more)
(will send points personally)
I will not be judging this
(Judges will remain anonymous for now)
As for rules - Use your common sense
Updates/Contributions:
Alyzeh 4000 pts (Thank you)
lunarlunacy - 400 pts (Thank you)
Lyndon - 400 pts (Thank you)
- Now 17000+ pts
- Added more H.M's
(after the judges have chosen their winners I will choose two wildcards myself that I personally think deserved something, both will also have 1000 pts sent to them)
Each judge will rate your poem from 1/10
and at the end I will tally all the scores up
The poems with the most points will win, simple as that
All the best to all

You're welcome,

Thank you to, Ken-Maverick for Hosting, and to Ademon, Alyzeh, Meroza, and the silent Judge for taking so much of your free time to read, review, critique and score so many entries......this is for sure, a Gold Trophy which I am very proud of.....not prideful.....just Proud....big differrence ~
I stand amongst so many talented quills.....each Poet surely gave their best......the points are a huge plus, as they will go right back into AP for others to enjoy a few contests as we did for this one
*Gentry Blooms is abstract for a reason......as the Theme could be called common, so I wanted to Challenge myself and go as deep as I cold.......I'm glad I took that chance.......it means a lot to me, as my Son is a Marine, and I tried to write from his eyes ~
God bless you Ken for Hosting......a lovely adventure you allowed us to take......and thank you Judges......your understanding is a gift to me alone.....I see the red lights blinking, I have to wrap it up before the music begins ...hehe
God bless you....and thank you, really, thanks,
