And when Christopher spoke, the thread did it stop.
For his words were true and always sublime.
They ended the strife shedding not one drop
of ink which for an artist is the greatest crime.
Just a reminder to get your submissions in by the 3-12 deadline!
1 day left before I send it off to GtG for judging. If you want to enter, now is the time!
The master sheet has been sent to GtG for judging.
How long 'til the judging is done
and we get to learn who is the one
who's rhyme will be heard
read out word for word?
this game has been ever so fun.
Christopher and I are going over the poems very soon. He's been in full-on design mode, so we want to get to a point where he can be distracted for a bit.
Any news on this?
Oh, it's coming. You won't be disappointed.
Greetings, poets and poetry aficionados alike.
The poems have been judged, and it was very difficult to come to a conclusion of just one winner. However, since I had to read the winning poem on camera, we weren't going to declare a tie - that would be twice as much poetry for me to recite and that's far too much. That said, there were many excellent entries and we enjoyed them all.
Here is my dramatic reading of the winning entry:

Well done, everyone.
I just realized I never posted all the poems to the forums. Here you go!
If only I were more a poet and submitted something. That was an awesome video.
Were you wearing eyeliner?
Same reason I was wearing a silly poofy shirt.
Dramatic. Reading.
Good work, poets!
Now if only we knew who had won
The submittor of poem #1
For it sure wasn't mine
(you can tell by design)
For a limerick is my kind of fun
metlarcturus achieved the victory.
I was just checking that I hadn't dreamed it. I mean, I totally approve.
A reserved silence and contemplative nod in your direction.
Well done all.
Apologies for being all silent and mysterious; I missed seeing the updates somehow!
Thank you all for your warm reception of my poetry! I plan to expand it into a full-length tragedy, entitled Titus Omnitronicus. Expect a stage production (starring Christopher as Omnitronicus X) to hit the Globe by next spring.
Those were some great submissions, fellow poets. I am especially fond of "The Moonfall Villanelle."
Hah, thanks, that one was mine. Yours was way better, though.
