RE: Poetry Survivor Final NightTom...THANK YOU! It was a great program but as I am sure an awesome endeavor for one person to take on. I thoroughly enjoyed competing in March...and loved that it remained anonymous. Maybe OP will get some ideas brewing....maybe?? |

Anyway, thanks to all who voted in March and especially for that final night in Week 3 in trying to break the three way tie! Intuitive Spirit almost got there but was finally conquered by my personal favorite Dark Puddles-congratulations mindnumbing! It was a lot of fun! OH.. And a HUGE congrats goes out to Knight4696 for the win! Your poetry all the way through the contest was exceptional! Thanks Dawn! I had a blast with this, and can't believe that I made the tie-breaker in week 3. I had my bags packed and was strapping on my flippers for the long swim home! |

RE: TOMI think Tom's irreplaceable... Your contest kicked a** while it was going... Probably a pain to run all by yourself though. Quite an extra bit of work that you did to help your fellow poets get noticed. Greatly appreciated and enjoyed. |

RE:Perhaps a few of us could "job share"? Each of us take a turn posting the contest poems for a week? What do you think? If 4 of us got together, we could each take a week to post the poems, post that week's results/winners etc. |

"A Daniel is come to judgement!" said Shylock. ( The Merchant of Venice) My Dear Aria. I agree with you 100%. Our Poets, must not be tempted t0 think that winning The Contest is their primary aiim and purpose. Winning ought to be a secondary aim. The noblest objective is to share with "the universe" , with each other. A poem does not exist, unless it is available to be eaten, to be drunken, to be pleased about, to be angry about, to weep or cry over, or deride or praise, to cherish or to tear to shreds, and to identify oneself with it, or to refuse to identify oneself with it. |

Am I mistaken?? |
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
