Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 11
  • Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 100, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    Poems pulls us when we read them as if we are in another world. We see the images once seen and images that are new - different and sometimes vague and beautiful.

    We are lucky that we understand the dialect of poetry as others prejudice what a poem foretells. Others even say that it poems are difficult, poems has no story to tell.

    Here in this contest and activity we prove them wrong.

    Kudos to all 22 participants for challenging yourselves and proving that there is a story inside a poem.


    The winners are as follows:

    1st - 'Release'
    2nd - 'It's always in the details'
    3rd - 'If only for a moment'
    HM - 'Prim Rose of Prim Rose'

    Other finalists:
    'Hidden pray (Sins of Passion)'
    'Wanderers'
    'Peter'
    'Stay With me'
    'Days gone by'



    I wish I can give more. Excellent work poets
