Write a Limerick in honor of St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. AP rules apply. Have fun!
Sure, there's a huge pot o' gold,
It cannot be bought or sold;
Each poet must write
One poem, in the fight
To win that grand prize o' gold.
Gold contest points contributed by Lady Ireland. Thank you, Dolores!!
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 4
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 400, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes:
Hello, hello to all of you who Eat, Drink, And Be Irish!! Thank you all once again for your terrific entries in my St. Patrick's day contest!!
I know, I know, it is very late, and I apologize for keeping you waiting with a green Ól in your giddy Irish hands. ("Ól" in the Gaelic language means Drink).
This was the hardest contest EVER to judge. All your poems are GREAT!! I really love them all, and the top three are as follows:
1) Gold for "Ridin’ the Púca" a most unique story of the Flying Púca (I learned something new with this fantastic limerick).
2) Silver for "The Leprechaun's Gone" a whimsical, fantasy tale for all ages, and very original (this poem took me back to my magical childhood)!
3) Bronze for "Paddy's Limerick" (St. Patrick deserves a shiny cup for driving out all the snakes from Ireland).
The top five honorable mentions are in no particular order, however, let me say that I wanted to give ALL of the 27 remaining poets a shiny Emerald HM (and especially to the rebel poet who may go to jail for handing out Ireland's freedom paraphernalia), but the system wouldn't let me do it.
If any of you knows someone in high places on AP (like Kevin), and can make that rule obsolete, I would really appreciate having the option of giving more than 5 emerald cups to my talented contestants.
Thanks again, you all made my old Irish eyes' day complete!! I hope to see you all come back to enter my future contests. (I'll try not to take so long with the judging the next time around). Have a great weekend!!
Peace, love & hugs to all,
xx Cyn xx
