  • Final notes:
    Wow, what a very hard contest to judge. Such wonderful entries from all of you. If you did not win does not mean that I did not like your write, they just did not touch me the way the winners did. I thank you all for entering. I read each and every poem fully and commented on each and gave 3 applauses to each. I don't believe in having a contest and not reading the writes, I don't just view them. Each and everyone of you has amazing talent and I hope you will enter my future contest Congrats to all the winners, honorable mentions are not in any order. Thanks again Theresa
