Angels (Senryu chain) by Rayven (10 points)

This senryu string is so elegant, and flows beautifully, it was
wonderful to read and the message brought me to tears. This
piece is uplifting, emotional and one many should read. Truly
love this poem.
-------------------------------
Deforestation – Haiku by Walter (10 points)

A haiku with a powerful message we all need to heed. If we
continue to deplete the forests, then it won’t just be the trees
that are falling.

Deforestation - Haiku by Walter (4 points)

Sorrowful, and powerful Haiku- A poem that represents what
is going on in the world to date.
---------------------------
Too sad… (English Sonnet) by Mr.Darcy (10 points)

This piece resonated a lot with me because it shows the highs and lows
of relationships and what happens when relationships (of any kind)
go wrong for we seemingly blame ourselves and wonder if there was
anything more we could do but generally it says more about them as a person,
not us although no matter how we feel about this, it still hurts and this shines
through this piece a lot. The words chosen make this even more difficult to read.

Fire In The Woods by Jemia de Blondeville (4 points)

There’s nothing better than afternoon spent on acid. The wonders
your tripping mind can conjure are ‘ethereal’. I found this poem
pleasing and was in awe of this poet’s creativity.

The Garden Waltz by Maple Tree (7 points)

I absolutely loved the format of this piece. When a poet uses space
as well as words to draw the reader in, to me, they have transformed
the ordinary into extraordinary.
-------------------------------------
He Forgot my Name by Maple Tree (4 points)

This piece really spoke to me because I felt every word, every stanza...
Maple, always does this with her poetry and I can only say that the
imagery was amazing although a sad piece it was amazing. If only I
could take away yet pain, I would.

Drift by Obscure (7 points)

This piece was very pertinent and I don't think it was just for me but
would be for many people who may come across it and read it. We have
all suffered one way or another in life mainly due to other's words so
understandably you'll be questioning things as to why you feel this way
with good family and friends around but it's very common to feel lonely
even when you're not alone.

Anarchy In Arcadia by cassie hughes (7 points)

This poem was unique, magical, mystical and wonderful. An arcade
game coming to life. I loved the visual display, as I was reading, the
colors and characters came to life. A powerful mystical

I love it when formed poetry gets recognized, but to have all three front pagers be formed poems is magnificent!

Congrats to Rayven, Walter and Michael and to the honorably mentioned.
