Jugding this contest is really a hard task for me, that was why it took so long. </FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#800080>Judging Criteria</FONT>: <FONT color=#ff0000>I did not actually did everything on my own. The top ten winners chosen by myself tied. I was not able to distinguish the first place and so on, so I printed the ten out for people I know that are familiar with&nbsp;writing poems&nbsp;to vote. 15 people voted. according to the votes of the poem resulted to the result. I am so glad because the idea was great as I do not want to judge it blindly; as in choosing anyone [that would not be fair]. </FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#a9a9a9><FONT color=#ff0000>Thanks everyone for the entry.

Debbie Guzzi Date: 2/25/2010 4:36:00 PM For some one so new to the site you have made your heart felt very fast! This was a very hard contest for any fragile, emotional person and aren't we all since we are poets? My verse never fails to make me cry. Sometimes I wish I never wrote it BUT I have it frozen in my head anyway so I thought it best to let it out. Perhaps as some kind reader said it would be a good one to read to "absentee" parents. I did read it to my father when I wrote it in my early 50's BUT it had NO affect on his future behavior. (sigh) Thank You Star Login to Reply

Constance La France Date: 2/25/2010 12:56:00 PM Thank you so much, for choosing my poem, Northern Love, for 10th place. I feel very honoured and I am feeling the glory. It was an inspiring contest, and I am looking forward to more contests from you. And your idea of judging was a good, and fair one. It is never easy, to choose, the quality and talent on this site, is overwelming. And I congratulate all the other winners also. ... Constance Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/25/2010 12:53:00 PM You are so right, Starflixer, EVERYone is a winner. I am just thankful that your group of 15 liked mine enough to put it 4th. I can't wait to read all the other equally good winners!! Thanks for making this contest. It inspired much good writing from everyone who participated, and I like how you got help in judging. IF i ever do a contest, I might have to resort to your system as well since I have great difficulty in choosing favorites among myTOP favorites!! Luv, andrea Login to Reply
