Notes About The Poem

Judging Poetry Contests

speaking for myself regarding contests
related to poetry, here on soup
let me get this confession off my chest
focus is the divine energy loop

same handle on spiritual forums
I have this yearning to share what I know
that each node in form, bliss sensorium
Gods divine pulse that keeps us all aglow

my contests are simply about God search
that we may each fulfil our life purpose
those closer to love, on higher ranks perch
form and geometry, part of circus

there is learning in participating
humility in lovingly judging

Thanks Jo! We each have our own yardsticks; mine is content, not form

I don't enter many contests because I know that there are some who judge according to friendship. others ...oh there are so many reasons.

How does it matter? Say your bit anyway! Soon, you will be unaffected by outcomes, so that’s a big plus for consciousness growth, as well!

Nicely written, US, I love the last to lines. I know I have learned so very much by reading and judging the contests i sponsor. I don't think I judge hard. Good luck in the contest. Hugs Eve

this contest sponsored by John provides an opportunity to clear the air on what motivates each of us to participate as well as judge contests

Nice writing, Unseeking Seeker. I'm sure John will like this one, and the theme is something I have been interested in, especially since my blog. You make very good points! Good luck for a high placement.

:) yes, your blog kind of brought this sentiment to the surface, possibly hidden in hearts of many but unspoken
