Also, we will be losing two other players. Some of you noticed that Empathic Rose already had to leave us. February Moon will be traveling and, likewise, unable to continue; and Never Fall in Love can not continue due to illness. No doubt Chandi would appreciate a thoughtful note from many of you.
Congratulations to all of you who remain! Expect this next round to be a bit harder than the last, and the competition to be tougher.
As we narrow down, it is important to remember that there will be only ONE Poet Survivor. Any one of you who remain could very well be THE ONE ! The talent here is amazing.
It is only natural that excitement and disappointments multiply with each round’s rankings, but we want to encourage continued good sportsmanship and comradarie among our entire group.
Be on the lookout for Round Four! You will face off as individuals.
Bring breath mints.
