In The Deep Sea Contest -Winners

Wonderful poets .. "CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL"...

Finally done...had a gruelling time judging this contest. Was sure about the first few places but after that had no idea,, there was something striking in each one, which I really liked so much.
And wish I was not such a stickler.. why some did not place high,,they were simply awesome.. some spelling mistakes I could not overlook or a wee bit out of context. So I've left my comments, what I genuinely felt.. I loved each and every poem that made into the winning circle,, irrespective of its place.. Marvelled every piece of writing, each very distinct and uniquely beautiful.. But judging I certainly don't like at all, that's one thing I ultimately found...

A huge round of applause for all of you and my heartiest thanks for your gracious support.. LOVE AND HUGGS
