The words I write are simple I'm as simple as they come. I'll never be the best poet But I'm an okay one! I write simple rhymes, Expressed with words understood, But I'll continue learning As every person should. So don't look to me for perfection Here it won't be found But if you enjoy simplicity You can stop looking now! :)

I am married, going on 18 years to a sweet heart of a man, Harvey. We have 2 children. Our daughter, Rosalie,is 17 years old and a blessing everyday. Our son Hunter Harvey lives with God until we meet again. He passed away at 2 months old from SIDS.

We are a happy little family living in the mountains of West Virginia. I'm a teacher by profession, an ordained non denominational Christian minister , and I love to write, play ukulele, sing, sew, craft, cook, read/ listen to audiobooks and study my Bible.

I'm originally from New Hampshire but moved here in 2002. We have one little dog, a chihuahua jack Russell mix named Sassy, a gold fish named Sushi, a female calico cat named Sookie, and 2 male cats. The oldest named Salem(he's all black), and a tiny male kitten named PorkChop or Chopper...a long haired orange and white stripe.

(I know we dropped the"S" name for the last kitten... but we are only fostering until our friend can keep him.. Otherwise we'd have named him, Sunny!;)

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.( Numbers 6:24-26 KJV)

Same Poem Different Form Results

Hey Y'all! I saw some other sponsors who did this and since I liked hearing about their contests,I thought I'd do the same.

Same Poem Different form contest process and results.

Results were posted this morning. I widdled it down to 13 winners of first, second, and third place. It wasn't easy! There were so many awesome poems, so I had to disqualify if, 1.) There was no second poem written in a different form, 2) The second form was not labeled/I couldn't judge if it was done correctly without knowing what form you were trying, 3.) No theme/ no subject was chosen,or if it was, it was not labeled, 4.) And finally, the two poems were completely different or the form you chose was done incorrectly.

I then judged the remaining poems by, 1.) All the rules/ directions were followed,2.) The first and second poem were basically the same, 3.) The degree of difficulty/ rarity of the second form, 4.) Creativity, 5.) I reacted to the poems in some emotional or visceral way, 6.) I personally enjoyed the poem.

I hope everyone that participated enjoyed the challenge and had fun! For those who didn't make it to the winners round, please know how difficult it was for me to decide, and to disqualify any poem.

Congratulations to all the winners! I appreciate your support and interest in this contest!

BTW, I am loving how these contests are anonymous to the judges until winners are already chosen. I was introduced to PS members I hadn't yet met! It was exciting to finally see who the authors are!!

Sincerely, with gratitude, Your Neighbor, Crystol

Congrats to the winners. Just saw your recent blog and was astounded by what someone said to you. Unbelievable. Don't let people get to you. It is your personal choice how you judge.
