To those who entered my One Line of Alliteration: The Name Game contest

i am posting this in hopes that those who entered my contest with more than one line of poety will correct their line to read as only ONE line. One of my examples was this: Accepting, diligent, and alert, I am dedicated and almost always amiably deliver. The idea was to create something similar to a monoku. Right now I have received only eight entries done correctly in the contest, so you have until the end of February to revise your one line if you entered my contest. I made a blog,but I fear not many people will see my blog. MAybe more people will see this now. The title I would give my line is simply A D. I had given a second example, but i guess I confused a few poets who believed I wanted two poems from them. Please test your lines by posting them to see if they come out as only one line. If it does, I will give your too-long line an HM. Those who do more than two lines will get N/A. I guess i am someone who makes my contests too particular? So sorry. That really was not my intention. I don't know how much clearer I could have been with my instructions . Hope people see this. Tell your friends in case they do not read nor my blog. Happy Monday!!

This treatise tugs tenderly. You are very sweet, and you are a very fair judge!

Thanks, Duke. I try hard to be fair but in the end, placements are subjective. I do try to include as many winners as possible but this time I need to stand firm on the one line rule,!

That's good. There were maybe 15 like you. Were my directions so hard to understand??
