and/or

we are human; [ it is in our nature that ]
we wish everything was better.

profound.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 9
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    afternoon dragged to evening and judgement day finally came! >.<

    thank you all to entered! i gave out 8 trophies this time because i felt that each poem deserved a trophy; each poem executed the prompt in a fantastic manner.

    gold and silver are terrific and bronze could have gone to 3 other people but I felt that the poem that earned it left me with a deep impression afterwards.

    congrats to all.
