I kid. I kid.

I was in some TOUGH competition, and didn't make a fool of myself. I'm good with that. Congratulations to the winners!

Somewhere in my mind... it echoes in here ...
Congrats to all the winners - very well done! I'm in agreement that every poem in this contest is a winner - with so many different styles and the huge turnout by voters, it came down to personal taste. I'm happy to announce that all of the ones I voted for are in the top 26, and all the entrants and voters are aces in my book. :Thumbs:

Congratulations to all of the winners, and many thanks to all who entered and voted. (A special thanks to those who vote for my poem. :D)

Patty, you ran such a wonderful contest, setting the bar very high, and making it difficult for whoever runs future contests.

Kelly, excellent job in getting people from all over AW to come over here and vote.

If anyone would like to know what all and where all Ambrosia and myself did and went to find votes - besides the global announcement - there were several threads started in other forums asking for votes and I lost track of the number of PM's I sent out, but it was well over 1k... and yes, that list is available -but that's not all- I'll double the offer for free, you just pay the extra shipping and... no seriously... any time, just ask! ;)

Thanks, everyone. :)

Brilliant entries. Excellent contest. Superb running and participation. Marvelous promotion and presentation. Magnificent that two of my top three made it into the top two. And happy I found my comfortable place at the bottom of the mid-table or the top of the bottom table. :)

I want to congratulate everyone who got behind this competition this and those who lovingly nudged them there. Goes to show what can be done when people put their minds to it.

I really want to shine a light on some of the poetry that really turned me on, but that'll have to wait until the morrow. For now I just wanna say well done everyone. The whole thing has been a real highpoint for me and muchos fun. Good work all. :)

I could just about go for a drink right now. ;)

But I don't drink alcohol, so I guess I will just have water. And maybe sleep. Sleep sounds good. :D

At this point... if I smelled alcohol I'd prolly fall over.

Goodnight Ambrosia.

Congratulations, winners! I am sure there is going to be a knock down dragout over the magnetic words! :) tee hee!

What a successful contest. Thank you Ambrosia, for hosting us. And to everyone who promoted voting.

I find myself in a bradb and Susie sandwich! :) wow. Great names to be surrounded by.

Good job to all!

A really cool place
Congrats to everyone. I was nervous to vote, b/c I'm not even close to a poetry expert, but one of my choices placed, and one of my other choices was in the top ten!

Great job all. I thought I'd be able to choose quickly, but it took me two days of reading the thread repeatedly to finally pick.

Congratulations!
