1st Place Received 250,000 GPs

Limericks allow us to all
Write verses unique, though quite small.
'Bout the folks that you meet
On a writing site - Sweet!
Since joining, I've just had a ball!

I chat every day on this site,
I read and review and I write
Poems happy and sad,
Some good and some bad,
And kind friends tell me if they're alright.

I don't know just where I would be,
If it were not for WDC.
You make spirits rise,
From low up to highs,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you from Meg - me!
Meg

2nd Place Received 100,000 GPs

In Bucyrus, there dwelt a young bard
who banged on her keyboard quite hard.
She pummeled all day,
creating, she'd say,
a masterpiece; though it was marred:

Although it was brilliant in plot,
the characters, frankly, were not.
The publisher said,
"This will sell when you're dead!
Come back when there's depth in the lot."

So, the diligent bard from Bucyrus,
to acquire more gold than King Midas,
pounded more words,
had to stop! 'Twas absurd:
She'd developed acute tendonitis.

3rd Place Received 50,000 GPs

A gent we call StoryMaster
deemed writing sites a disaster.
" It must cease and desist! "
he surmised of all this,
" The Mistress... I'll run it past her! "

Soon the two found themselves pairing,
minds set and bravely declaring,
"An oasis we'll build
for Word Warriors skilled...
a niche for caring and sharing!"


Seven years past, it's still shining,
talents and friendships divining;
known as Writing.com,
their site's simply Da Bomb...
pinnacles reached ~ and still climbing!

1st Honorable Mention Received 25,000 GPs

To begin, fill a quill and collect
All good words that your skill can select.
Then decide which get used
And divide those refused,
Taking care that each verb is direct.

When reviewers declare they're amused,
Be aware that no fault is excused.
Sharp-eyed writers inspect,
Implied errors detect,
And discern where ill tales get confused.

Yet unsatisfied, rewrite, correct,
Provide ways for loose ends to connect
Till description is fused
To thrill readers enthused
By the flair of your perfect effect.

2nd Honorable Mention Received 10,000 GPs

There once was a site they called Writing,
Where authors like birds were alighting.
They put on their creations,
From all different nations,
And hoped that reviews won't be biting.

3rd Honorable Mention Received 10,000 GPs

Come scribblers all, near or far
No style, theme or genre is barred.
For seven whole years
We've been gathering here,
So write on, and R, R & R
