----------
There
were 180 poems entered into the contest. I want to thank our judge and
anthology compiler, Debbie Okun Hill, for all her invaluable assistance
in putting this contest together and selecting the winning entries.
Debbie read every poem several times before making her final choices.
This contest is being repeated, so for those of you who entered this
time and did not win First Prize, I hope you will try again when we
will have a different judge.
