(Click for Poet Info...)

My name is Timothy Hicks, and I've been writing for 5 years now, since I was 13. My main hobbies include writing, playing my piano, origami and bicycling.


I'm a bit OCD about some things and some would refer to me as a nervous pacer. I like to do outdoor activities, but at the same enjoy my alone time where I can sit and write. I'm a very avid reader and enjoy several different genres: horror, science-fiction, fantasy, and mysteries such as Sherlock Holmes.


I've had several different jobs including shakerboarder, pizza-make and cotton candy maker-and-distributor.


I like to think of myself as someone that can fit into almost any crowd and I always try to stay on the bright side of things. I swear very little and hardly ever get mad at people. I believe spreading smiles is a much better practice than sharing negativity...

At the Mountains of Madness - Update

Hey Soupers!

 

Wow ... what a menagerie of different entries I've received for this contest. Just wanted to let you know this is probably the most difficult contest I've had to judge so far ... everyone has such a different outlook (and interpretation) of what it is "mountains of madness" means to them ... and quite a few of these entries are quite lengthy just to read ...

 

I've been judging a bit, here and there, when I've gotten the opportunity, but it might be a few days to post the results ...

 

Thanks for your patience and participation ... you've given me a lot of intriguing and out-of-the-box poetry for me to read ...

 

-Tim

Some contests turn out to be SO difficult to judge. It's too bad you can't decide to go Premiere after the fact. haha!!

Very true, Andrea. This is a standard contest ... I was thinking of doing premiere, but I like highlighting a few more poems than just 10 (15) ... While at the same time not make it too easy ... It's tricky partially because there was hardly any rules to this contest ... I left it too people's imaginations ...
