Please join me in congratulating this month's winners:

First place: Fangorn and Majah
Second place: Endirion
Third place (again a tie!):
Desi Baggins and Iarwain

Kudos to each of our April poets -- you really had your creative hats on and treated your audience to a rainbow of different views of this topic. Excellent job all around! (And a special tip of the hat to Fangorn and Majah for demonstrating the pleasures of creative collaboration. Great idea, you two. Who says poetry has to be a solitary art?)

All of our voters get a round of applause, too -- you came through once again.

Winners, your prize ribbon files are attached to this message -- please download your prize and display it proudly in each of your posts this month. (To download your ribbon, just click on it. (If you need some tips on how to add it to your posts, check out "Gandalf's Tutorials" here on TR).

Well done, everyone!

LOL! Congratulations Majah and Fangorn and thanks for that glimpse into the mind of a poet. I myself do much the same. Careful though, it could lead to (as in my case) out of control punning.
Great work everyone, I every poem very much it's impressive to see how many here have the Bards blood in their viens.

P.S. Great Tolkien's Ring Poster Majah!

Congratulations to everyone who entered! All the entries deserve a ribbon! I look forward each month, to read the many deverse and clever styles. There are always surprises, and there have been quite a few jewels. I want to urge every member to try their hand this month. Even a few simple lines is a great way to start. Don't worry about winning.......just do it for fun! I especially want to thank Olorie for doing so well with this project, and Majah who was my inspiration...((hugs))

Fang
