I know I said I'd post the results on Monday, but the contest is now officially over, and our winner won by such overwhelming odds, I just couldn't wait. We had seven poetry submissions that were all inspired by the picture of a celtic butterfly. Yes, this one here. Each and every poem was beautiful in its own right, but there was one that stood out above the rest, receiving nine out of the seventeen votes cast.
And our winner is . . . TAMARA PASSEY! And for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of reading her words, I'm posting the poem here for all to see.
The Masterpiece
Who drew us this way?
Me here and you there
where we fit so seamlessly
If I look close and follow aline
I think I see where I end and
You begin
But then I don't
Curves are hard to follow
And I'm sure the artist
Planned it
So we wouldn't spend our time
Trying to see how separate we are
But notice, instead, the
masterpiece
We are together
Delicate and strong enough
To take flight.
Isn't that beautiful? I'm going to leave all of this week's entries up on The Poetry Challenge Page, until I post the next prompt on Wednesday. Take the time to read them, if you will. Poetry brings such a joy in language and I'm so thrilled to have so many joining me in this challenge. Thanks to you all for your hard work and beautiful words.
Until next week! Adios!

Wow. That's an incredible poem. Congratulations, Tamara!
Karen, thank you for doing this challenge. I think I already mentioned how I hadn't been writing any poetry for a while (something like a WIP taking up my time) so this was great. :)
