    Back to one judge this week. Feel free to step up!

    Michael takes the top spot with his Soul Searching nautical metaphor. Skyfire joins the front page with her Intimate reverie on the impact of lengthening night time on her own soul. Now bless my soul if Keira hasn’t picked up her initial first page win with a ditty of a senryu, Oh, crackers!

    Congrats to the First page heroes:
    Soul searching by Mr. Darcy ( 10 points )
    Intimate by Skyfire ( 7 points)
    Oh, crackers! (senryu) by Keira Pickard (4 points)

    [Since there is only one judge there are no Honorably Mentioned].

    ************************************************
    Soul searching by Mr. Darcy ( 10 points )
    Such a deep, rich and emotional poem this week by Michael.
    I truly enjoyed every line. The rhyme pattern was a joy to read. Start to finish, I was taken by this piece!

    Intimate by Skyfire ( 7 points)
    One long, flowing poem. Such a brilliant and elegant flow.
    The word choice was rich with visual displays. The nature tones are just beautiful- The title was perfect!
    Breathtaking!

    Oh, crackers! (senryu) by Keira Pickard (4 points)
    This young lady knows how to write a senryu!
    Mice can be a major pain, and what a cute and creative way to express that feeling!
    What a joy to read.

    thanks to Larry and to our Judge this week. Congratulation to Keira on winning the weekly contest on her second attempt - you'll be snapping at your dad's heels in no time at all. I loved Skyfire's poem, too. It must have been so hard to pick just 3 poems out of such a high calibre of work.
