Saffron Summer Golden sets of surfs surfaces delve a surreal saffron sky, Sands surrender shoeless soles that traipsed an eclipsing trail, Amber rays supremely herald as an ocher beach comply, Gild glitters halcyon flocked doves sprung free a summer's veil. 2019 May 12 *1st Place* Trophy Winner YOUR BEST QUATRAIN ~~L MILTON HANKINS: Judged 2021 August 14 *3rd Place* NA re-run ~~John Hamilton: Judged 2019 June 27 *3rd Place* Summer Quatrain ~~Caren Krutsinger: Judged 2019 May 19

I was told by another souper, if my poem was placed in another contest, sponsors will 'state' as being welcomed, whereto, you did not. I do not list my poems as an honorable mention lest it's the top three spots, irrespective of its placement #. My next sponsored contest will just be for the top 3 and none other. Thank you for eyes wide open and the wiser for it, John ~ William
