hey DRake congrats to all the winners. Anything I could possibly confess has been addressed in other poems and contests and since I think you wanted new poems, that's why I did not enter.can't wait to get some time to read the big winners.

Hey there, Andrea! Well, some of the poems were much older poems and that's ok. Which I didn't know until after I finalized the list. But, I wasn't going to be anal about that. =) You should've entered!!!!!

Thank you so very much kind sir! What a true honor this is!...I don't know how you managed to pick a winner from the top three...Just to clarify mine a bit...It was a deliberate and slight exaggeration of the events that happened that night... An attempt to express the awful guilt and heartache I carried with me for so long...It was a toughie to write but I also found it to be somewhat cathartic...Thanks again! - Tim

Picking the top 3 took a good 2 days. It was very, very difficult. I could tell your poem had a lot of personal swagger to it. It was a powerful piece, Tim. =)
