I personally loved the third ‘The Foundling Mother’s List of Pain’, the bond between the Mother and their child even when they are apart. The 2nd is too political for me and there is ignorance from both sides, it just hurts me too much, and frustrates me. The first is a great ekphrastic poem, though a little complicated for me.
I love them all 🙂
Can I by an anthology of this year’s winning poems, if so, please provide me with an address I can write to and order one.
We have two anthologies available and will have our third at the end of 2021 🙂

This is awesome! Loved reading.
However , I still don’t know if my poem went through or not I didn’t get any confirmation from anyone.
Some brilliant poems here. Really enjoyed reading. Keep up the good work. 🙂
It has been really interesting to read the judge’s comments. As I have not made the list of near-misses I shall keep trying!
