No need for the 'but'...I already said it was good.

But, really, VVD, it's good.

But, really, Bardock, it's not written in 'standard' poetic structure. Although I think that this makes it more effective... well done to everyone, anyway 😊

now i'm just waiting on the results for the short story. i've read Diamond's...and i must say i'm impressed.

It'll be a while yet... I've read all the entries multiple times and am waiting for more to devour droolio

Where are these?

I liked Coldfire's one, but...it's not actually in poetic form. It's more like formatted prose.

I agree, it's really good. It might sound like a back-handed compliment, but I'm actually really surprised she wrote it...

I don't like the last two lines, though. Oh, and Fëanor's made me laugh.

As for the winner; good choice. However, I'm worried the result was affected by him being really, really good-looking. It would be a shame if being aesthetically pleasing somehow influenced the judges vote, but I hope this wasn't the case.

I suppose your 'back-handed' compliment could also be perceived as high praise, because of your surprise; perhaps you've realised she's capable of much more than you've given her credit for in the past? 😛

But the judges were blissfully unaware of who submitted which poem, you know. I'll admit, with most of the poems submitted for the last contest it was easier to figure out who wrote them. But not this time. So don't worry yourself, we had no idea 😆

Admittedly, I haven't read that much of her recent poetry, but it shows a great leap from the stuff I read before. Good job again, Coldfire.

Phew. The poetic integrity of KMC's Poetry Corner is intact!

Hmm.

I knew which one YKF wrote. I'm sure (I hope) the judges were able to recognise particular styles in that manner as well.

lol you seem to say that about me a lot 😛

Well, it's interesting because it suggests you should write prose style instead. Any particular reason you like to write them as 'poems'?

Not this time... as I said, we were sure last time. This time I can say we had an inkling but weren't certain. Not that it matters, at least the judging was completely unbiased, right?

If that is the case, then yes.

Oh no..he's pushing his agenda.

From reading your poems, it would appear that you have some self-confidence issues and more than a hint of paranoia...I recommend a weekly dose of physical recreation with your peers to run concurrently with a bit of poetry-related cold turkey...
