It's a shame when contest entrants put names on their poems when we are trying to judge blindly, Matt. I've read some great poems for your contest so you have your work cut out for you. Very creative idea for a challenge. Good luck to all the contestants. Best Wishes, Carolyn

I like totally agree with you Matt, the judging is best when blind ... and I find it fun at the end, to see who wrote the poems that win.. I find most are getting used to not many put their names, but some are just not reading the contest specifications.. blind as a bat.. funny..... Constance

Blind as a bat is a cool phrase for a name! I double checked to make sure my name isn't at the bottom of the poem. It isn't. Oops, I have one more place to double check. Off I go to do that now! Thanks for sponsoring contests. They help us improve our writing...and imaginations! Big smiles, Dane Ann
