Crushed Velvet
Judge One: This is the only poem that really felt magical. Whoever wrote this is a genius. You did great in showing us the different aspects of a work crush in a tone that's not too corny and not too boring. It felt rather dreamy. Excellent job. The use of velvet was really original.
Judge Two: I loved the anonymity in this piece; the hint of mysteriousness that clouded every word in it. It kept me intrigued to know where the writer was going with this piece. And I honestly didn't want it to finish so fast, I wanted more of it!
Hope this piece have a sequel to it :)

The Scent of The Frappuchino
Judge One: The 1st stanza is totally unnecessary. It's out of sync with the rest of your piece. Too much descriptions. I lost interest through midway. But, your ending was awesome. It could be edited. Hard Luck.
Judge Two: As a coffee addict this poem just said it all to me. I love the smell of coffee, its one of my favorite smells ever. The idea that you shifted from that strawberry milkshake to a Frappuccino I found to be very interesting. As if the journey has started so innocently and ended up in a more mature kinda way.
"how the scent of frappuccino imprinted in your cloths, "
I loved how you used the word imprint in here, it gave an extra depth to the whole piece.
What else can I say! OH GOD! Could someone fetch me some Frappuccino right now?!

A Switch in Time
Judge One: LOL! That ending was phenomenal! Never expected it to be honest :P
Its like you narrated your own daydream in this piece. I loved the amount of details you gave to the surroundings of the place. You made sure the reader gets to see and feel the same way you did. Great write indeed.
Judge Two: I loved the 1st stanza. Those physical descriptions were creatively penned. The thing that made me choose this as my 2nd Top poem is the annoying repetition of 'his' in the beginning of many stanzas. I know your descriptions are useful to emphasize on the topic given, but it became disquieting. Anyway, that's a lovely execution. The length isn't this enticing. Please minimized it. Great job.
