Wow, I can't even believe it. I'm so glad you guys appreciated Dilettante's poem to his not-so-secret crush. |D There was so much talent in this competition honestly, I loved each and every one I read (and maybe felt a little outclassed by some of them!)

I'm going to shut up now before I try to give a whole speech or something. XD Just... adfkhadfjkhdsfakhdf thanks for everything. :D

@paintminion

I pass entirely on my dragon and familiar prizes. I only keep G1s (and G2 Imps), so most of the dragons are no use to me - the one G1 there is in the pool unfortunately has colors that aren't my style. As for the familiars, I have them all, and duplicates of most of them on top - it'd be kind of a waste giving me one.

And, of course, congrats to the proper winners! I'm a bit sad I didn't place in the top three, but I guess it's my own fault for not writing something more soulful than a tongue-in-cheek limerick. XD

I CAN HAZ SO MANY PRETTY POEMS TO READ OMG.

Tell me your secrets, winners, cats (I'm totally calling us cats, shut up :( ) and honorable mentions!

I'm wondering if most of the stuff was free verse?

The only poems with a type I can see is TheInkheart's couplet, and Raitoyami's... um. It's also a patterned, rhyming poem, but I don't know what that type of rhyme pattern's called. EDUCATE ME?!

BeingOfNature has an acrostic! Or, at least, part of it is. I was hoping to see that one somewhere. :D Does the picture style have a name? Is the rest also a part of some type or such?

TELL ME. TELL ME NOW! TEACH ME POETRY THINGS. (if you know them better than I!)


EDIT: Your local dumm-Az didn't offer return info. For those who are wondering, what I wrote is called a limerick. It's a formal poetic style for short, humorous poems. Five lines with an AABBA rhyme scheme, and also a rough 8-9 / 8-9 / 5-6 / 5-6 / 8-9 syllable setup across the lines. Here's a limerick about limericks (which wasn't written by me):

Writing a Limerick's absurd,
Line one and line five rhyme in word,
And just as you've reckoned
They rhyme with the second;
The fourth line must rhyme with the third.

:D

It was funtimes figuring it out. :D
