For some reason I thought it was Friday.

Edit: If I finish my new poem in time I shall post it here at least! :-D

I'll mark you as tentative Aya, just in case you can make it. If you somehow find 15 mins to run over and perform for us I will still count you. If not, thanks anyway. : )

Nebula did not place but had a great time, even got a consolation prize of a creepy furry thing that clings to her back.

Her poem was Frog Lives

Had a wonderful evening here last night. Though the temptation overwhelmed and the "Prince of Fools" lived up to his name by stepping in to submit a brief work at the last minute. While it's delivery apparently fell flat, it resonated with a few souls and that was enough for him. Great job with the contest and congrats to all those that won!

I had a great time and really enjoyed meeting everyone. So much talent on the stage last night! I think you'll definitely be seeing more of Syerra around.

Thank you, Rini! And congrats to everyone who shared their poetry!


(P.S. Thanks, Nebbs, for all the sagely advice before the show!)

Thank you so much everyone! This was a really wonderful event, and I enjoyed all of the creative poems that were shared!

Thank you to Rinhi, and to the judges Smile

Here's Aya's Poem:

A Spring Bird's Song

O, dear little bird!  Sit and sing now for me?
Tell me what it is like? What it is you have seen?
Just how high can you fly? Just how far can you see?
Of where you have come? And what lies between.
Of fresh breaking Spring, the fall of warm rain,
Of lifting grey fog stirred over the dale,
Of rising sun's light 'cross broad open plain,
Of winter thaw's sound in deep river vale.
Of oceans wide calm and rivers loud roar,
Of frost's nipping cold, which drove your long flight
From where you were born, learned to sing, and to soar.
Now homeward you're bound, after winter's long night
And here just to stay, to rest tired wing.
So lucky we are, to hear the bird sing.

I will be contacting participants tonight or tomorrow about participation prizes. : ) Sorry for the wait.
