By a narrow margin Caledonia has retained her spot on the Laureate square.

While all the poems were excellent, the biggest problem was length. The shorter poems just didn't have enough material and the longer poems set the standard for themselves so high
they just couldn't get enough points either.

I am currently working on a full checklist for the points
that I will go through when scoring. I feel that for the artist it will cause the poetry to be forced, but if anyone
absolutely wants to argue with the points...he can talk to the Bulgarian judge because he's the one who insists on all these strange systems.

The rest of us are in it for the fun of it. The competition
can be fun...if you allow it to be. The next competiton has to do with a form, a really tough one that will scramble your grey matter. It will be in line with our graphics and
a challenge to the writer in us as well. Stay tuned.
