Winter Dodoitsu Contest Finalized!

Blog Posted by Heather Ober: 11/13/2015 10:12:00 AM

I was absolutely blown away by the poems that were entered in my contest. Some were packed with gorgeous imagery, while others made excellent use of personification, metaphor, alliteration, etc. Some also contained a clever play on words or had a beautifully meaningful last line.

Unfortunately, some of the entries that I LOVED didn't place because they had a spelling or grammar error, the wrong syllable count, or contained more than one dodoitsu. I was very specific about what I was looking for in my latest blog, so I was a very strict judge.

BIG congratulations to the winners. Like I said, I was truly blown away.
