    Dear poets,

    I thank everyone from ‘down-under’ for your valuable participation in this contest. I am extremely sorry for the delay with my judging and scoring. I thank Dr.Veer, the silent judge, at this time. Amidst his busy schedule he helped me judge this contest successfully. Please don’t get carried away by the scores, dear friends. Each poem is special in a way. I loved reading them all. Keep writing. Keep entering my contests.

    Love you all.
    Regards
    Kiddy
