Open Poetry Contest Judged

Blog Posted:7/19/2015 2:26:00 PM

Wow, this contest filled up super fast! Something really odd happened during the judging process: after the contest had filled and vanished from the contest page, and I had locked it, entries continued to come in somehow! I have no idea how that happened, it's weird (but then, I'm well acquainted with weird lol). Anyway, the fourteen poems I eventually chose for my winners are the cream of the entries I received. I would be happy to read any of them in an anthology. A big thank you to all who entered, including the 'extras', and congratulations to my fourteen winners!

Hey, sweetie. I was away for a bit. Not up to writing. Just posted a silly limerick tonight. Hope I can get into the swing of things. I'm sorry I missed your contest. I'm still riding the euphoria of my 2nd place win on the last one. Really worked hard on that one. I trust your judgement. You push me out of my comfort zone. It's good to have you back!!! Will read your latest soon....hugs

Charlotte, thanks for sponsoring a great contest and although my poem did not place, I want to thank you for the inspiration to create a beautiful poem that I will hopefully be able to use in another contest in the future and congratulations to all your winners

charlotte, I am honored to be among your winners. You are a writer I look up to because your free verse is quality poetry for SURE! About those extra entries you got, this has happened to me a few times when I failed to LOCK my contest when it reached 35 in number. Did you lock it fast? Usually the most I get is two or three and it rarely happens! Congrats to all your fine winners.
