Congrats to all the entrants for having the courage to submit and congrats to the winners for standing above. There were some VERY fine poems amongst this collection, a couple that I coveted as I voted.

Can;t wait to see who wrote 'em all. :)

And when you see mine, you'll howl as wolves might finding easy prey. :)

[Sarita]

Great job, everyone! Loved the poems. Congrats to the winners. One of my pics is in there!

Can't wait to see who wrote 'em all. Great point! Me either.

Congrats to the winners! I had 4 out of 6 of those poems as my choices for finalists.

This is the first time I did not enter the poetry contest. Good thing because boy was it hard to choose the finalists. Tough competition.

[TurkeyLurkey]

It was really a joy to read all of them!
Congrats to everyone for being so talented and taking the time to submit!

I missed this anouncement, I don't think my pages are updating like they're supposed to when I click in here.

Congrats to all the winners! Fantastic job. And to all who participated thanks for your hard work and very good poems. This was really a great contest. More ahead???

Thanks LD for a massive effort.

Not that it matters a hill-o-beans what I think, but I vote we extend Mark's term in office for another go'round after March. It's been a blast having his enthusiasm and input. Here, here and Bravo to Our PL!

Congratulations to everyone who won!

The contest was lots of fun and a great challenge for me as I've never written a sonnet before. I'm one of those that writes free verse and hopes it accomplishes what I intend.

I really enjoyed reading up on sonnets and then attempting one myself.

Thanks, Limey, for the motivation!

[CasaWood]

Limey you ran a really inspiring contest here...a big thanks for all your efforts!

Winners take deserved pride, these were simply a joy to read and tough to choose among. It was a fun investment of several hours!

[mbroadway]

I'm awestruck, and I feel honored to be in the company of such superior talent. Congratulations to all.

A special note of appreciation to LimeyDawg for suggesting such a well-received, interesting, and educational writing exercise.

Thank you so much.

As much as I appreciate it, I reaaaaaaaalllly need to get started on my next book. You can never have too much money or too many trunked MSs.

[Susie]

Congrats to all the winners. The entries were super!

[dreams in words]

Congrats to all that won, they were such wonderful entries!
And thanks to Limey for working so hard to make it happen.

[rhymegirl]

Okay, did I miss something?

When do we get to see who wrote the rest of the sonnets?

Curious minds wanna know.

Didn't see Love Divine in the collection of sonnets with their authors. Thought it was particularly well crafted. Whoever you are, well done!

[LimeyDawg]

The complete list is on my other computer. I don't have access right now. I'll get it as soon as is possible. My apologies to those poets who were left off that list.
