The Little Mermaid in my Pond

Blog Posted by Suzanne Delaney: 8/17/2014 4:54:00 PM

'Mermaids are swimming before my eyes........but the results are in.....there were so many great entries and I used the scoring system that Roy posted from a poetry editor.   That was really helpful, especially when there are poems posted in different forms.  Spelling, punctuation and typos cost points.  I wanted to show all the poems so everyone can enjoy them all. As you will see there were many tied places because the poems merits were really even.

Carrie gets to choose the first 'Mermaid collage, I will contact Isiah and Craig as each of you make your choices. here is the link again.
