Funny Epitaph Contest Finalized

Blog Posted:9/18/2018 7:16:00 PM
The Funny Epitaph contest is over, and WOW did everyone amaze me with their witty and hilarious creativity! Picking just ten winners from the lot was quite the challenge as you all hit it out of the park. If you finished in the top ten then congratulations, and if you didn't, know that the gap between the 10th and 20th poems was minuscule. In hind sight, I wish it had been a standard contest so I could have given more poems the spotlight they deserved. Thanks to EVERYONE who entered the contest. Stay tuned for my next contest. It should... interesting.

Thank you so much for my placement, Jesse, I am humbled to be on a list with such wonderful writers, and honored by the 3rd place. This was so much fun that I just kept going, then had to choose, (and I didn't even post them all, lol). I don't do a lot of humor, but when I DO I want to stay there ... joy is a powerful thing! Blessings and congrats to all the winners! :-)
