WOOF Winners 10/24/08

Posted on | October 28, 2008 |

I have been slacking so much on writing and because of that I have not really written anything new in awhile. My entries to the WOOF contest are dwindling down. This week I entered 3 and I really thought I would not win, in fact I hoped the exquisite corpse poem would win but it didn’t. In fact I didn’t think I would win a place in the top at all.

For some unknown reason my poem, that was originally published here as “Untitled 4″ then became “Seeking Sun” and republished on Poetry 2.0 won a spot. I am shocked and amazed by this and I want to thank all who voted for this poem. That poem is actually written in a form but damned if I remember I think it was diamante but I am not sure since I wrote the poem last year.

Everyone who entered this week had stellar entries and I am honored to be among people who offer valuable works and find mine to be valuable as well.  This week I will republish everyone who enetered because they deserve some recognition for their work and if you have the time, please read their words and feel something.

Romeo - “The Natural World” - A short poem about nature and its beauty.

Kimota (Jonathan Crossfield) - “Time, Productivity and the Writer” - A look at how writing isn’t necessarily as quick to produce as many outsiders believe. Taking three hours to produce 100 words might seem odd, but is perfectly legitimate to produce quality copy.

~willow~ - “it’s all a matter of perspective…” - …where a young girl knocks a new perspective into an otherwise downcast boy on a bright autumn day…
