Contest the First results!

Man, you guys made it tough -- twenty-four entries, and a lot of disagreement among the judges. In fact, one entry got an equal number of 'best' and 'worst' votes!

( the details of the judging )

But, in the end, there can be only one... in each category, anyway.

Best:

The leaves of the book
fall open into my hand
but it is not there.

Worst:

can has book to eat?
Retrievers are so tasty
want to nomnom Wren


Special split-vote snarf award:

cheap, tawdry begging
seem the order of the day
please give me your book


Winners, step forward and claim your copy of STAYING DEAD! [mailing addresses should be sent to wrensergei(at)lycos(dot)com.]

And everyone who entered gets a signed bookplate, if they so desire...


Life's a little crazy today, so the new contest will be posted instead on Friday, giving everyone the weekend to work on it...
