Wow. This is a really out-there contest, but it certainly cheered me up. Looked at the picture and laughed for, like, five minutes.
I'm going to go and look at the poems, now. Thanks for pulling me out of my bad mood.

Thanx for all the entries so far folks, I don't think it's fair to make individual comments till the end, but must say now, that they are just great, thank you all so much

It can be in poem form or not. Your choice. Please enter i'm sure you'll be able to think of something for it you seem very imaginative. thanx.

HAHAHA i love the picture!! very cool poem, unfortunately no inspiration has struck yet but as soon as it does i will write an entry for this! good luck judging!

That picture is awesome. It could be interpreted so many different ways. I see it as the women in the pictures are as helpless and meaningless, just like fish in a barrel because the fish is mimicking hte poeple in the picture. Except he has no water which makes him helpless just like models. heh. meh

Thanks for the honourable mention, the contest was a brilliant success and all winners were well deserved, you are a fair judge, great work................
Take care
