Dot Your i's and Cross Your t's FINALIZED - Hilo Poet's Blog

As always, difficult choice to add the *suffixes to the *great poems submitted for this contest, but as such being the case, 10 were needed for a premier placing.

A few did not follow the rule of the 1st line couplet starting with an "i" followed by the 2nd line of said couplet beginning with a "t". A blog was sent concerning this factor once it was discovered during the early stages of the contest that affected a few submissions, unfortunately, it went unheeded.

My thanks to all participants, and compliments to all the winners.

The glitch I experienced with Amazon, hopefully, has been resolved. Apparently, my extensive use of Amazon via variable addresses throughout the world overloaded their system, they had suggested doing one transaction every other day or so, which slightly involves my private use of them. Soupmail me regarding your address that'll determine the method of Amazon receipt, be it a Visa Gift Card for Americans or a Gift Card for Internationals or cash by mail (be it at your own risk--depending on the integrity of your Postal Network, as well as, the "good fences" around your house).

First Place: $100.00

Third Pace: $50.00

Fourth through Tenth Place: $25.00
