East Jesus Contest Judged

Blog Posted:1/2/2015 9:21:00 AM

Congratulations to the winners! The best poems were those which related to the theme, but which will stand the test of time (in my opinion of course). I deducted placements for poems which were not true to the stated form, or had spelling/grammatical errors, did not follow the form's defined syllable count (if applicable), used awkward/inverted phrasing, poor meter/rhyme (if a metered or rhymed form), used bland language, or were mostly just descriptive of the images or somewhat too specific, in my judgment.
