After four rounds of voting, my readers have spoken and chosen the top three winners.  These poems will be submitted to Wordrunner eChapbooks in response to their call for poetry relating to the theme of “found.” My sincere thanks goes to everyone who participated.

Without further ado, here are the winners:

Where Peace Resides – 12

Force of Nature – 11

As for third place, we have a tie!

The Guardians – 7

Solitude – 7

I wasn’t expecting a sudden death match, but the tie must be broken. Seeing as I did not vote in any of the polls, I thought it was fitting that I cast the vote that decides the third and final spot.  Perhaps its my loner nature, but I am quite partial to “Solitude.” In addition, I think it fits well with the other two in terms of theme.

You can read all three winners by following the links:
