Thank you to everyone who participated in the competition, which would not have been a success without your diverse and inspiring poems.
Congratulations, everyone!
Congratulations all!
Congrats to the winners from another contestant.
Could you please print the winning poem on the website?
I am sure the 1,000 or so contestants are curious.
If we did that, you’d miss out on the fun of waiting for December to turn to your significant other and exclaim, “My poem was better than that one!”
Excellent and well done. Among 1,000 contestants even to receive honorable mention is an achievement
Congratulations, Joe!
will you pose instruction how to join?
My all time favourite of the 2nd Symphony is conducted by Simon Rattle.
I read your poem Joe, it’s absolutely beautiful and it creates such imagery. I’m sitting in english class right now and were talking about accomplished poets and it made me think about you.
