The Drunken Boat

Thank you to everyone who entered this challenge. 📝

This is NOT going to be easy - as thus far we have a two-way tie and only one trophy.  Again, there is a judging process, and we will be acquiring another judge on this one.  Because of the process, and the addition of a judge, it will take a bit of time.  

Again, thank you; we appreciate your patience.

And again, I'd like to thank Ahavati for the opportunity to participate in this unique challenge. I have never in my 15 years of poetry writing crafted a completely symbolic poem.  Now I can say I have.

This had to be one of the toughest competitions I've ever judged.  Entrants were judged per originality, symbolism, spelling/grammar, and form.  

Congratulations to Oshinome for his outstanding entry, scoring 40 points.  Poppy you were only 1 point behind him at 39 after our third judge weighed in, so placed second.  Jade your entry was excellent scoring only 1.5 points behind first place at 38.5, so you were awarded third.

Special recognition goes to Vandel, Taurus, who both scored 37, and Hepcat and Josh for scoring 36.

Thank you to all entrants and special appreciation to my judges: JohnnyBlaze and Nightbirdblue.  

Congrats Oshinome 🏆, ImperfectedStone and Jade-Pandora!

And to everyone who participated - you won an amazing poem you wrote yourself! 📝
