I loved the entries for this, just annoyed I couldn't get net time to vote on 'nothing'.

Congrat's to the winners.

dobiwon · Jun 1, 2011

Thanks to everyone who submitted, read, and voted. Special thanks to Rob to putting on this contest. It was a good chance to broaden out to poetry styles not usually seen here. All of the entries were very good.

I hope everyone who entered as well as everyone who read the poems enjoyed them all as much as I did.
