To mark her 100th year, Joyce Johnson's book, Lifetime Memories in Verse, has been released by Publisher Gary Drury and is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
There are so many talented writers here that it becomes quite a challenge to judge poems written on a theme like "Cross." All of the different interpretations were amazing to me and I loved reading each entry at least three times.
I'm still trying to choose a theme and form for the final contest in the Easter Series. First-place winners in the "Cross" contest get five points, four points for second place and three points for third place. I have added up the points all contestants have accumulated and there is a three-way tie for first place right now. The tie will have to be broken in some fashion. I may go for humor in limerick form for the last contest.
Thank you all so much for the wonderful entries in the "Cross" contest!
Included in the first-place lineup are three perfect sonnets and a beautiful rhyme. Please join in congratulating the top winners:
