I have read four contestants poems and so far I am pretty wowed. I ask that everyone does not pull their poems out. We have 28 people that will be moving on so far, and so far I'm only putting the people that score 90 or above, but that doesn't mean that those who make below a 90 won't be on the finalist list. Just be patient and understanding, I have over 300 poems to read.

 

 

Update, I have been reading some amazing poetry. Thank you all for the wonderful entries. So far I've gotten 19 poets poems read. I have over 80 poets to read. I ask that you all remain patient and understanding. So far once agian I'm only adding those who have made a 90 or above onto the finalist list. There may come a time where the ones with 80's and above will be placed there as well. Those who have added more poems after being graded, you will not have points added until I have read everyone's work. Thank you!

 

Day 1 results: 20 poets read, 6 on finalist. 

 

Update: I have read a total of 7 poets today. Each poet had multiple and I mean multiple poems in the contest. I enjoyed everyone of them Thank you all. So we have 27 poets read and 8 on the finalist thus far. More will be read tomorrow.. Thank you for your patience.

 

Update: This is day 3 after the closing date. I've read 11 more poets, so my total is 38 poets. I have added 3 more to our finalist. So we are up to 10. You all have done a spectacular job on your writes. Please be patient with me and remember don't take your poems out, you still have a chance to get on the finalist list.

 

Update: Day #4... I've read 17 more poets. My goodness this is getting tough to judge. Each poet has brought their own style and honestly, I'm impressed at how different each one of you all are. Thank you for giving me something great to read. I've found 3 more finalist. So we are up to 13 now. Congrats to all that's on the list.. I will be adding more. Thanks for your patience.

 

Ok I apologize for not being on lately. Like I said in my note to everyone, been having technical difficulities. I have read 18 more people and have found 4 more poets add to the finalist list. I will read more tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

    Everyone I thank you for your patience with this. I read everyone's poems and they were all amazing. I tried commenting on a view and everytime I tried I'd get an error, so if you didn't get a comment on some of your poems, I was not ignoring you.

    I found two poets who really rocked my socks off and both got a 100 points total!
