Prizes
First Prize - Most Glory
Second Prize - More Glory

... and seven more wonderfully glorious placements!
* Hints for higher placement *
Creativity, rhythm, musicality, EXACT rhyme, avoid lines that are too long, original but SENSIBLE imagery, proper context/syntax of words, consistent tense, beauty, (and "beauty" in poetry can be sad, ugly or dark), imagination, emotion, originality, and proper word USE, (don't plug in words from a thesaurus and then use them incorrectly - fancy or "big" words do not impress me unless they're used properly/creatively - this is a RAMPANT issue on poetry sites).
* Thank you - have fun! *
