I wrote since my elementary days, but I stopped..Just lately, maybe brought about by challenging situations and so much free time, I started to write, again....Most of my compositions talk about my day to day thoughts, my reflections, my experiences with the world and with God, events and whatever  crosses my mind....It is a transparent "me" and I hope to whoever will read , they will be inspired one way or another..

Most of my compositions are triggered by contests sponsored by the Premium Soup Members,  probably joining time to time from these, it developed and enhanced my writing in a way. Anyhow, I always managed to put myself within these poems. I can say that writing poems is now one of my fave hobbies.

I am a learner of poetry. This is definitely shown in my poems, different types and different subjects... I am a Filipina, born August 13, 1986.  English is not my native tongue. I render care with all kinds of people regardless of creed, age, religion and race.

Instead of speaking up, I intend to burst it all to poetry and by just singing........................... :) some will criticize as it is full of emotions or its "emo" but it is alright.. :) all I want to do is to express the things, I can't seem to say.

my compositions are my "hide outs", my fantasies,, my dreams and so long yearnings. I don't collect material things as like shoes, books, cds, paintings or so. however, these are my collections: MY POEMS. :)!

THE BUBBLY BLOSSOMING WINNERS

Blog Posted by Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser: 4/12/2015 9:30:00 AM

I am lured and blown to trip in the swells, rhythm and beat, scent and beauty of your entries.winkblushheartyes  I am glad for those who participated and gave their best shot.smiley

 

I like to be fair at all times. Hence, automatically, when I began to judge, I eliminated those who didn't follow the enumerated instructions: 5 entries= no date, 3= different title, 2=placed a form but didn't follow the rules of the form.sadsad(they made me remember the times, I was disqualified because I didn't follow the instructions)

 

I placed high those who explored and "thought outside the box" on the attributes of Blossoms and bubbles. enlightenedThe unique way they presented blossoms and bubbles. winkThey made blossoms and bubbles their main course. coolThere are some whose themes are quite similar, but then I tried to weigh by how they executed it. cheekyI placed high the poems that still echo in my mind after I read all the entries. What I mean is that I remember them so well because they leave that WOW FACTOR in me.laughsurprisewink

 

I asked two persons to help me in choosing who is who… :) I took their comments. We discussed. Then I collated. These two judges are Paul Callus and James Fraser. I want to mention their name.(Thanks to both of you though I know you are busy you extend your help… :D! Sorry if you don't like me mentioning but I must..)cheekycheeky

HERE ARE THEY THE WINNERS:

  Place PoemTitle Poet
Contest Winner Medal 1 Blossoms and Bubbles Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
Contest Winner Medal 2 BLOSSOMS AND BUBBLES John lawless
Contest Winner Medal 3 Blossoms And Bubbles Gail Angel Doyle
  4 Blossoms and Bubbles Carrie Richards

  9 Blossoms and Bubbles Broken Wings
  9 Blossoms and Bubbles Jade Celeste
  10 Blossoms And Bubbles Shadow Hamilton
  10 Blossoms and Bubbles Sandra Haight
  11 BLOSSOMS AND BUBBLES JAN ALLISON
 

I want to especially mention a poem from the entries that I really like... but I humbly apologize 'cause when I began choosing and proceeded to round 2, I found such poem isn't on the list.. sadI tried to go back on round 1 but round 2--- but same. I want to mention it here, the poem goes as like this:

 

Bright blossoms ride a babbling brook to sea,
as it bubbles and gurgles over rocks.
And lovers sit under a cherry tree
sharing the moment, although neither talks.

Watching pink petals gently raining down,
they listen to the water's subtle song.
And as blossoms and bubbles swirl around,
a sweet scented breeze carries them along.

Dusk draws charcoal silhouettes with last light, 
as shadows merge and combine into one.
And the stars come out to confetti night,
no longer over shadowed by the sun.

Two lovers succumb to fantasy’s bliss,
as blossoms and bubbles bless their first kiss.

---whoever owns this poem, I do apologise... You should be on #8th.

Thank you for all the participants!!!blush 

WEEEEEEE!! MY WARMEST CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 I am so glad that like me you are able to write something about blossoms and bubbles, much more than I thought before…!blush 

God bless us all! // olive eloisablushangelheart

Olive, congratulations on your successful contest and congratulations to all the winners. I wrote a poem for it but forgot to enter it. Duh!! One of the disadvantages of growing older or maybe just being distracted. I will take the later. Anyway, I truly am glad to see you hosting contests.

Hi Olive, I am the author of the poem you have listed and I thank you for your efforts. Mistakes happen to all of us and I'm more pleased that you liked my poem than I would be merely to place. You are an honest person and the effort you made to correct you mistake is very commendable. As a fellow poet I salute you, and of course hold no animosity towards you whatsoever. Emile.
