Pre-writes open for 12 hours!!!

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on September 6
• Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 1 people
• Final notes:
  I'm sorry this took me so long to judge.
  A lot of stuff happened in the past week that kinda knocked me sideways and backwards.
  
  I knew my gold as soon as I read it, then I knew I had to add silver, bronze and a HM because the quality of entries was phenomenal.
  
  I will comment on each of your entries, but I cannot say when, but you will each get one.
  
  Thank you,
  Shelly

    i saw you entered like 3 or 4 poems before you decided on the final one.
    
    i'm glad you chose that one, i had never read it before.
    i knew it was my gold as soon as i laid eyes on it.
    
    i read it while you were speaking it and it moved me to tears.
