********************************
name = Bruce Longman
Submission_author = Mole Exterminator by Ken Bushnell
Points = 5 points
opinion of the submission and author = Another metaphorical masterpiece by Ken. He sure does have a touch for the obscure. Where do you come up with these ideas? The ending once again is classic - just when you think the story has become predictable, in comes another twist in the last line!!

Submission_author = Please Find A Cure by Krystal Bateman
Points = 4 points
opinion of the submission and author = Interesting and with a good point [sorry, but points are good in my book]. There isn't a steady beat which makes it kind of hard to read. Over all the rhyming and subject is great, but it lacks the steadly beat to make it a great poem.

Submission_author = Black Wings Standing Alone by M. MaGaurn
Points = 3 points
opinion of the submission and author = This poem definitely shows sadness and maybe a feelng of loss. There seems to be anger and hate spread all over and those are real feelings. I noticed some spelling flaws or missing words. This can really detract from the flow and lose the effect you want to give. Also, next time try and keep the very graphic scenes to a minimum.

name = Krista Schlulz
Submission_author = The Awful Smells to Me by Jessica Sayer
Points = 3 points
opinion of the submission and author = I think she answered her own question. Although I did get a kick out of the poem. I thought I was disgusting but funny and I think that was what she was trying to do. I can't say enough about the poem because there is so much to say I won't get it all in. If I tried I would not have enough room. I think this should win an award. She used very good imagery. I could almost smell the things she was decribing. This poem was very good . That is all!!
name = Elena
