Poetry Results

First of all, I would like to say congratulations to every single one of the participants. Putting yourself out there is not easy, and I commend you for it. I would also like to give one last shoutout to sinfully-sarcastic  and GaryRiddell for their incredible work.

Now, the moment you've been waiting for.

I am posting everyone's breakdown (averaged from 2 judges). A couple of participants will get a review, which can also be DM'd to the author upon request. Participants, you might be DM'd with the option to receive advice. You are welcome to refuse or to ask for it later. Winners, please DM me your email so I can send the stickers over. Judges, please follow the winner of your genre.

And now, it is my privilege to announce the results for poetry for Season 3 of the Borderverse Awards.

A Tapestry of Love is a wonderful collection dealing with the themes of relationships, love and heartbreak. I enjoyed it all, from the droll commentary of Text Recipe, in which flirtation is transformed into the preparation of a meal, to the stark beauty of A Hundred Fifty, where time is torn into segments a hundred and fifty seconds long, which we're told this is long enough for a space shuttle to exit Earth's atmosphere, or for blood to make two round trips to the heart and then some, leading up to the declaration that it's enough time for the poet to whisper, "I love you," ninety-nine times into their lover's ear, ending: "Make that a hundred and fifty times If I don't pause for breath." There were many lovely phrases throughout: "Scars glinting like new armour," "Intentions circle like wolves," and "darkness dusted my eyes," are just a handful of those standout moments. On top of this language, the collection maintains a modern, consistent theme throughout, detailing the incredible highs and devastating lows of dating in this age.

The cover could be better but it's still beautiful in its own way. The blurb is fine but it would be better if you add an extract to it. Grammar and Flow are to the point. Everything was too beautiful in its own way. I also think that while writing poems and story anthologies require proper arrangement and the way it was done in your story was amazing. '25 Shades of Brown' already won my heart as it was so beautifully written like others. Your poems are sweet and they convey the emotions clearly, that's what I liked about it. Simple yet so well written, with proper emotions and diction. Great Job!
