I am way behind on reviewing but thought I would pop in. I like this poem on FanStory contests. It is a fun and honest well rhymed account at the entries and outcomes of winners... and losers. I do wonder who is on the committee myself. Oops, am I allowed to even think that?

This work has reached the exceptional level

Competition here is tremendous to the point of Venomous.
As soon as you write something beautiful and no in your heart, it should win?
And then you find out because of some stupid little rule it then becomes nothing with a sin!
...
Well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
Thanks for sharing this and good luck with your contest entry.

    Thank you so much Ricky for the review and super stars. I agree with you. I am appalled by some of the rubbish that sometimes win.

The author's words are meaningful, descriptive and creative. I enjoyed
the read of this poem. I found the words true right till the last stanza! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome! Great Poem!

That's a very nice thing to say. But I have seen contest wins with errors. We are all people and all of us make mistakes so that shouldn't keep anyone from entering the contests! Best wishes in this one!

Your tips, Jen, made perfect sense for all. This was a great
contest entry. Your rhymes worked and added more emphasis
to your overall message. Everything you wrote is vital to
compose an exceptional contest entry.
Thanks for sharing your entry and best wishes in the contest, Jan

sometimes I wonder about that. there are truly fine works that are rewarded and then some that get overlooked. I think it`s the audience on that particular day and overall wholesomeness in most entries. No doubt, all what you reference is certainly true as well.
