I would like to nominate Mary Sullivan Boren's 'The Captive' for the Faerie award. The poem is in Herme's Homilies. This poem presents the exuberance of youth guided by the loving hand of a father. It demonstrates a step taken toward goodness and is a superb metaphor showing how God as the Father guides his children in their daily lives. I find this poem a brilliant composition. Michelle

Please accept my nomination of "Captive Bred," by Eisa, for the Crown Jewels Award. It is posted in Hermes: http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10977I'm taken with this poem not only because the thought-provoking message hits home, but also because of the effective alliance of form and content. Eira clearly knew what she was doing in choosing the Logarhyme. The short lines interspersed between couplets echo the feeling of holding one's breath while looking at the animals on display. This captures the emotion a zoo evokes from me, as I am drawn to the cages but at the same time repelled by the idea of them. Good job, Snow! Mary

I would like to nominate Cailean's poem 'Invader' for a Faery Award. I think he has achieved great atmosphere and imagery; it is enigmatic, as well, so food for thought.

I would like to nominate Larry's Ciaron's Dream for the Fairy Award. It reminded me of why I fell in love with poetry, with the beautiful music words can play.

Hi Lori!
I would like to nominate Ron's sonnet:A Changing World for a Crown Jewel Award.
It has impressed me intensely, due to the perfect form and profound meaning, with a touch of humor thrown in, tho' quite subtle & perhaps ironical. He'll probably refute my interpretation of his piece, but I understand that A Changing World refers to one that goes around in circles...LOL... Excellent vocabulary and metaphors.
Hope you'll agree....
Cheers, Syl ***

Hi Lori!
May I nominate Snow's poem The Nestling for a Faery Award?
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=12296
The way she has related a fallen nestling with a true event of 40 years ago is striking and highly original, as well as eye-opening. The poem brings tears to one's eyes, since one can visualize the sequence of events as if one were viewing a part of a movie...it's so real! Past and present, revisited, with excellent vocabulary and imagery.

I would like to nominate Thoth's poem Shrine of the Red Hornet Queen for a King Award. I think it's an exceptionally gripping epic poem, wonderfully rhymed, giving one the real "feel" of those lands and legends. I believe he's going to make a few tweaks still, but meanwhile he deserves the plaque, IMHO.

Lori, I would like to nominate Snows's poem 'Christmas Remembrance' for a Faery award, right fromt the first word it grabbed me and at the ending I was overwhelmed and crying. This piece is very heartfelt and poignant and a cherished memory revealed all at the same time. It is in Seren's Synapse. Thanks. Steve

I would like to nom Thoth's (Wally) poem 'Whispered Scars' for a Faery Award. I would also award him a Crown Jewel, but he has one already, and this poem seems to deserve the F.A. for its poignant, emotional content, as well as deftly managed form & vocabulary.

I would like to nominate Sekhmets poem in Hermes 'Movement by Moonlight' for the Faery Award. I love the form, the rhythm, the treatment of the subject matter, I was so sorry for the poor little mouse... I thought this very deserving of an award. Steve

I would like to nominate Leo's (Sekhmet) poem, Sun Kings for the Crown Jewels Award, I thought it was a beautiful sonnet, and the poem just capture the essence of sunflowers to me, and it more than did justice to both pictures provided by Leo. I stand in awe of this poem. Steve

Good morning everyone. Could I please nominate Marc's poem, 'Mechanics of Evolution' for the Faery award. His use of such delicately erotic language was an absolute delight. If there is also an award for attempting to weld a miscellaneous collection of stroppy poets into writers of correctly structured sonnets - he should have that too. Love to all, Leo

Lori, I would like to nominate Sylvia's Bewitched II for Crown Jewels award but not sure it fits as a formed poem...I know it sure impacted me very much...and I know I nominated it for the IBPC but I really think this deserves both...it is so descriptive and evokes so much, truly a wondrous poem.
