Looking forward to reading some good stuff. …………………… ………… ………… Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 16
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 600, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: This was really hard to judge. I started out with my winners but had to keep adjusting as I read other entries. I asked the site manager for more that 5 Honorable Mentions but was told that number was set in stone and with good reason. Some people were awarding almost every one who entered their contest, an Honorable Mention Trophy. That made them pretty meaningless.
SO What I am going to do is to tell you that had I been allowed:
Child Behind a Window
I got friends too you know and
The Mouse That Roared
would have gotten HM trophies and the poets of these poems will be receiving their 30 points.
Thank YOU ALL so much for entering. I am honored to be included in a group of such accomplished poets.

So, could the poems have won trophies, just not gold? Or no trophies at all???
-

If your poem has won any trophy, it is not eligible for this contest. This one is for one that you thought would win gold but didn't win anything. Good luck.
-
-
ah shucks, all my poems are either below 20 lines or above 40 lines, not to mention the ONLY poem that isn't is as you might say 'depressing' trust me its not self-pity, but still... there is another one that would fit but its horrible...
-
went ahead and entered... not my best, not sure if it was ever good to win a gold but maybe an honorable mention... ^_^ ttfn
