Precious Stones and Gems contest Judged

Thanks to all who entered, as usual some great writes. Truth be told there were a few that could have taken first place. There were also some gems that could have placed very high but were dq because names of the poets were put with the poems, contrary to contest rules. I try to minimize biased in my contests, otherwise if you allow names to be put with the poem it leans toward a popularity contest rather than just a contest. Thanks again to all who entered, stay tuned for the next one.
