Verses of Metaphors

This was my 200th contest. I wanted to thank every one of you for all your participation and wonderful poetry these past 3 years. I am always honored to reah such beauty. I was going to pick just 15 winners but all were so amazing all 35 entries placed. This was a very hard one to judge. 

PS- is anyone having trouble accessing their soupmail? I have not been able to read any in about 2 months or so. Please let me know I am curious if it is just me. So I apologize if anyone has tried to contact me, I promise I am not ignoring you I just can't read it. 

I will comment on all entries soon! 

Be blessed and congratulations!

Laura Loo
