    …………

    Gold - Jaundiced Rhyme for a Village Fool – 78
    It’s a poem of best theme, diction, uncommonness and tome. Friends, please have a look at this one, I am sure, you will understand what is so deserving that it won a gold.

    Silver - The Devil’s Arms – 77.3
    This is one of my favourite poems. I was totally impressed with the very first read itself. I badly wanted to give gold, but I am left with no option here. I can award only one gold trophy here.

    Bronze - Yellow Rose of a Heart – 77
    Great take on the prompt. I loved this one for its outstanding flow and tone.

    HM1 – Banana – 76.8
    HM2 – {paint a pretty} – 76.5
    HM3 – Where Does Yellow Come From – 76.3
    HM4 – Yellow – Ahh So Mellow – 76.3
    HM5 – Protect Me – 76

    Dear poets,

    This contest was so difficult to judge that I found each entry a brilliant one. You have honoured me with your beautiful entries. Each one was special in a way. I enjoyed reading them all. Please don’t take the scores to heart. One can’t satisfy every reader. I am one of the readers/critiques who use the intuitional scores to judge this contest. My sincere thanks to Dr.Veer, the silent judge, who helped me judge this contest without any difficulty. Thanks again.
    Love you all.
    Love and regards
    Kiddy
