Congratulations to the Winners!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Your poems fit the prompt beautifully.
Thank you to everyone that submitted a poem to the challenge. It was truly inspiring to read each and every entry. They were all so great that it was far from easy for my new partner and I to choose. (I recently brought on one other judge to help me select the finalists, and he did such an amazing job!)
Until next time...
- R.P. ❤️
