COMMENTS: (I will comment on each poem when they are posted!)

As Silhouettes Talk - Received no comments by judges.

Lost Button Revealed: I must admit that when I first started to read this poem, and saw that it was done in an acrostic form, I was not looking forward to reading it as I thought it would be too much to add this form into the title prompt given, however I was pleasantly surprised at how fluent this write was.
The flow is beautiful and it really does not come across as a form, or seem forced at all.
The content is also beautiful and touching, and the story really hits you hard. Very touching write and has to be my favourite from the competition.

----

I rated Lost Button as my top favorite because the title freaked me out; in other words when I reached that title, it kind of sounded like the most challenging.
And yet when I was through with reading all of the beautiful entries, this one still stood out most. I cant even believe how the title was twisted and used within the poem and yet built up in a form ...Acrostic for "lost button revealed" really ? That was simply epic.
PS: It was heart wrenching, smart and very touching, and felt very natural.

Darkened Hearts Yell: It is impossible not to read this poem and not love it! the overall composition is outstanding, ord choice and flow were simply perfect, not too bold or in your face, i would even go as far to say understated ...but in that way that grabs your attention....perfectly balanced and presented. This poem is fantastic!

Lady Keeps Time: Ok so the person who wrote this has a Crazy control over language, i thought that the emotion in it simply spilled over the "page". The word chioce was spot on and the irregular stanza formation was a reall nice touch keeping it very fresh and interesting to read. this is a great write :)

Monday: Perfectly Good - No comments.

Mistresses Never Bleed: This poem is such a powerful write! it flows amazingly and is wonderfully heavy and attention grabbing, as soon as i started to read i was engrossed and just coudn't take my eyes off my screen! The word choice used by this poet was crazy good and dangerously dark. This poem iss Epic.

Traveling Somewhere West: No comments.

Time Left Charlie: No comments.

Just Get Frozen: I found this poem had a lot of nice imagery in it, but the wording was a little off putting for me because I struggled to find a fluency which was enjoyable, and also stumbled often on punctuation and when to break the poem up.

I looved this write!!
i really like the rhyming scheme, it flowed really well and didnt feel forced at all, it has a playfulness to the language that was awesome i found my self grinning at times :)

Great write!

Missing Little Zeus: No Comments

Preoccupied Mind Status: This was not less favored by me, in regard of poetry, all poems ever written are personal and beautiful in their own way; however in regard of the entries in this contest I felt like this poem was not very well knit, it could have been a bit richer; the title is mysterious and yet open at the same time and could have been twisted around in the favor of the poet.

It is a nice poem, but competing with the rest of the poems, with some work done it'd make it much better piece.

A Beautiful Christmas: No Comments.
