A month is gone, which is long enough to determine a few awards for our heroic Poetry Month efforts. I have unilaterally decided these award winners, so if you don't like 'em, deal.
The (un)Poet Award: Taylor Dearr
Taylor's remarkable 14 posts were second most, and most among active students. This fiction writer demolished all expectations turning in brilliantly, and often food-themed, poetry. For Taylor's efforts, he receives an award signifying Poetic Expertise from an Unlikely Source.
Untapped Poet-ential: Bridget Mendel, Willy Nast, Tori Telfer
Bridget, Willy, and Tori all turned in a few (or one) poems after entering the contest in its final days. This award signifies a future as bright as a moth dream.
Most Scholarly: Eric Dean Wilson Madden Swan
Eric and Madden began with a bang, and their production dropped off accordingly. In order to make this something other than a rebuke, I am assuming that they turned their energy to school work.
The Roses: Lauren, Dinah Fay, Jordan Shuler
The trained poets flexed their muscles at a good clip and presented consistently challenging poems.
Show Don't Tell: Jordan Shuler
Jordan's blackout poem was phenomenal. Nuff Said.
Best Poem: Nina Yun
Nina's "The Poem I Won't Be Reading at my Sister's Wedding" is one of the best pieces of existence created in the 21st century.

ReplyDeleteWhat if someone put extra letters in your name, Timn? You'd want to get rid of them, too.
