Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 4
- Rewards: Gold: 1500, Silver: 1000, Bronze: 500, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Yet another wonderful collection of poems
Thank you all
Each poem got a minimum of three reads by me
The first just to read.
The second to read again and comment
The third, once the contest was closed, To check any editing done
I then selected ten which moved me in
some way
Gradually through many reads, selected the winners
They may not to some, appear the best, or the most tecnacally written.
This has no bearing on my choice
It was made purely by how i felt after reading them over a number of times
There were many more that gave me great pleasure in reading
To those i thank you and appologise that you did not get the recognition of a trophy. Though you did in my eyes
Gold went to the poem
WEDDING DRESS #3
This one told a story of sadness felt by the brides maid
A sad but to my mind a wonderful piece
Silver went to THE HAT
I loved the humour of this piece (i love humore in poetry)
Bronze went to DERELICT
This one i felt told a sad tale of a life that ended and
the resulting disinterest in what it had ment
The two HM went to
ANGEL'S KISS
And
GUITAR MAN

Thank you Lynda so much for your comments I find it a lot harder to run contests where i judge myself instead for poets voting the winners
There were at least 7/8 other poems that i could so easily have given one of the awards to Needless to say your collaborated piece i include -

I know how difficult judging can be, although your contests always draw a huge croud so that must be even more difficult
Thank you again for your kind words and fair and wonderful judging..
