Bards Birthday

Blog Posted:4/28/2025 2:57:00 PM

I want to thank everyone who partyicipated in my contest Bard's Birthday. I want to say that all were excellent entries and it was very difficult to judge who shoul be #1,2,3 or 4. It was a close call. The poetry and ideas were well thought out and presented.

Thank you all ver much

Oliver
