BATTLE OF THE SONNETS ROUND 6

NOTE: Because several of the contestants did not receive a notice of the final contest, I am adding a day to the contest.


INVITE ONLY. If your name is not on the list, please do not submit.

The List:
Monkus
MargaretG
Pamela Lamppa
maa
ea
Kiusha
passim

Rounds 1 through 5 have been rounds with individual winners deciding which poem is the best in that particular form. This round will find the best poem for the ENTIRE BATTLE.

Awards will be gold, silver, bronze and 4 honorable mentions.

For this round you will pick one of the poems you submitted in rounds 1 through 5. That poem CANNOT be a gold or silver winner.

This round will end on Thursday August 9. You have two days to pick a poem you thought should have won. I will then score that poem on Structure, Content, Texture, and Emotional Response and add that score to the total you earned in the contest. The poem with the highest score will be the winner of the BATTLE.

Same rules: no pictures, etc etc

REMEMBER There are no new poems only pre-writes from the other rounds of this contest.

PLEASE EVALUATE THIS CONTEST! After the contest is judged and finished, would you please go to column http://alllpoetry.com/column/show/2337398, copy and paste to an IM to me and fill it out. If you feel a need to comment, please do. I think it important to me to improve on any future contests I might host. THANK YOU.

  • Final notes:
    I have added all the points and the highest is the gold. I added MargaretG who left for holidays before I posted the contest. So while her name is not on the list, she was submitted to the contest. This has been a wonderful contest with some great poetry in forms you have not used before. Please IM the evaluation to me. I would greatly appreciate it.

    margaret g has left for holidays a few days ago, she will be gone for a total of 3 weeks ... I am sure you will find a creative way to compensate for her absence, so she will keep her chance for eventually winning this contest
