There were so many good poems, that we decided to give the judges a shortlist of 12 instead.
Showing her versatility, Tamara has won this one with her excellent poem, "Just Three Syllables." Following close behind was a complex and beautifully written poem from our poetry specialist, Elliot Lacey, and a delightfully romantic poem by Liz:
1st Place: Just Three Syllables, by tams_back_yay.
2nd Place: Loosed Arrows, by Elliotlacey31.
3rd Place: Love Is, by Liz.
Rounding up the Top 12 are the following poems, which I urge people to read if they haven't already:
Swansong, by sprite.
Black Metal Valentine, by Piquet.
Burnout, by AylaJ.
Prologue, by Katherine.
Twilight Time, by Green_Man.
A Letter to Love, by KimmiBeGood.
Roar, by Lilly.
Heelspike, by She.
Made for Each Other, by dronette56.
A big thank you to all those who took the time to write for this competition, to our judges, readers and all who voted and commented on the entries.
A new competition will be announced over the coming weeks.
Cheers,
Nicola
