I've mentioned this elsewhere, but would like to repeat, that I was blown away by the quality of the entries to this competition, and got rather emotional reading some.

Others were outright filthy, which we also love

Poetry is very subjective, and out of half a dozen judges, none of us had the same Top 3. The top entries were only separated by a small number of votes, so it was incredibly close.

Without further ado, here are the results:

1st Place - When Passion Calls, by avrgblkgrl
2nd Place - First Light, by Liz
3rd Place - Let me be your Juliet, by sprite

Congratulations to avrgblkgrl, Liz and Sprite!

It was a pleasure reading through all the entries. I urge our membership to read all of the following. There is some outstanding poetry here. All our worthy of our "Recommended Read" award:

In Love We True Completion Find, by KindOfHeart
Paperclip, by browncoffee
It's Never Just a Fuck, by Burquette
When Shall We Wake?, by Milik_the_Red
Consumed by Passion, by Lilly
Walls That Have Eyes, by Sara
Tempestuous, by honeydipped
Piccadilly Line Passion, by naughtyannie
Oblivion, by littleduchess
Passion Evolves, by NymphWriter
Retrouvailles, by moon03
The Burning Flesh Of Angels, by gilrenard

The $250 prize money for this competition, will go to one of Alan's favourite charities, The Woodbridge Animal Group.

Thank you to everyone who took their time to craft poems for this competition. You have done Alan proud.

Many congratulations to the winners. I'm chuffed that mine - which probably falls into the "outright filth" category - was considered worthy of a mention. Thank you

22 February 2024 - How about a quick plug for one of my filthiest recent stories? It's all in the title - Naked Pool Party Swingers | Lush Stories Please read, comment and maybe give it a ❤️ - or even a⭐ if you really enjoy it! Thank you! Annie xxx

Congratulations to AvrgBlkGrl, Liz, Sprite and the rest of the top 10. I loved all of your work.
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing

In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

Heartiest congratulations to AvrgBlkGrl, Liz and Sprite. Exceptional!!! I have read all of them except two which I am going to read now. I just can't believe my poem is listed in the top twelve. I am truly honoured for being able to share this wonderful honour with such amazing poets!!! I have never before seen such incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm in any of the competitions. Alan would have been so glad! Thank you Nicola and the judges for giving the opportunity and encouraging all of us to come up with such amazing poems. Once again congratulations to all of you. Bowing my head with respect for the amazing talent you all showcased.

I'm amazed! The standard of entries was so high, so to even make the Top 10 (especially with my first story posted to the site) has been incredibly exciting and a lovely surprise to come home from work to. Thank you to everyone that took the time to read, vote and comment my poem, and also thank you to all the judges for taking the time to look at it. I'm humbled x

P.S. Congrats to the Top 3 and to everyone else on the list too.

I've seen people win and place in contests here even when they were brand new. People don't do well or badly here because of how long they've been around, but because of how they write.

To complain on the congratulations thread seems to me to be a particularly poor choice. "Congrats, I guess, since the thing was rigged anyway..."

This sort of thing happened a few contests ago and it definitely affected for the worse the rightful pleasure and joy that those who had done well felt in their accomplishment.

Let's not go that route again.

I am honoured to have placed second amongst such poetic talent. Honestly, who could complain about being sandwiched between Avrgblkgrl and Sprite? It's kinda like being the creamy filling of an Oreo cookie...



Congratulations to those two lovely ladies and all of the runners-up. The turnout for this competition was excellent and the quality outstanding! I think Alan would have really enjoyed this one and I'm glad to see the prize money being donated to his favourite charity.

Alan would be so incredibly pleased with the participation seen in this contest. This was about honoring a true poet and a good man, and for me to see how many of us entered makes me smile. Congratulations to everyone who joined. To me, that is what mattered, the joy of creation and the beauty of the works.


This was for you, Alan.

Special congratulations to Reggie, Liz and Sprite, and congratulations to everyone who entered the competition. The quality of all the entries is a fitting tribute to Alan.

I am honoured to have been in the top ten, and even more so by the award of an Editor's Pick by Nicola. Most of all I am glad that I accepted Ping's challenge to write a sonnet about passion, not just because of the result, but because writing my poem unlocked my creative imagination in a new way.

Glad I didn't have to judge this, but the winners are well chosen. Congrats to them and the runners-up and, indeed, to all who joined in this one.




Now I shall go bang my head against the wall because the muse finally hit ... yesterday . Yep, I wrote a poem that probably could have gone in this comp two weeks after the deadline.
