Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 29
- Rewards: Gold: 400
- Final notes: Congratulations to the winners... Special congrats to the gold for being the best poem by far... I was a little disappointed with some entries that failed to capture the beauty and others that failed to capture the pain... And yet others that failed to do both... All in all thought the majority of the poems were nice... Within the next few days each poem will receive an individual critique...
Nice job writers...
