Collaborate With Me Contest finalised

Blog Posted:3/30/2023 5:04:00 AM

Hello Soupers,

That was a wonderful contest to host. Thank you to all who entered and supported it. I loved the challenge of writing TEN collaboration poems with our amazing poets. So many great entries, and it was hard to choose from (I will never do a premier contest again).

Now, regarding my judgement, it was purely SUBJECTIVE, no hard feelings. The reasons your poems did not place was either one of the following:

1) Your poem did not appeal to me.

2) The syllable count / rhyming was off.

3) It had nothing to do with the contest theme.

4) It was complete in itself, I could not think of anything to add to it.

5) It was awesome, but I could choose only TEN winners, so maybe next time...

Thank you all once again.

I plan to do another collaboration contest, but this time a STANDARD one, so there will be multiple winners:) hope many will join in:)

Yes, Premier contests are almost always too hard for me to judge. Glad to hear you are doing another one that is standard. Congrats to the fine winners.

Joanna, thank you for the contest and although my poem did not place I now have a poem I love to add to my poetry collection!

Thank you, Constance, I so wanted to place yours, but as I said only 10 winners left me in a bind...

Know the feeling, so many wonderful poets that have a style of their own. Like a painting, each one sees things different, just because we see a painting cheerful another will see it very depressing so the colors will be different from bright to dulls. Even brush strokes will be different and sizing. They are all beautiful but in their own way.

Yours was brilliant, Eve, just I couldn't place more than 10...
