Hi Lori
I'd like to nominate the Flash-Jam response Zephyrina by James (Jox) for a Faery Award
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=5588
It is a superb piece with great depth for a short piece, very philosophical and wonderfully sensual and simply a brilliant flash.

Hi Nina, Fran,
Thank you very much indeed for this nomination - a lovely surprise. I'd had some very kind feedback on this flash but I didn't realise it was appreciated quite so much.
Thank you Nina for your nomination - and Fran for your seconding. I'm very touched.
J.

Hi Lori,
Yes I'll second Fran's poem.
It has both political topicality and humanity as its core themes and is written really well, too.

Hi Lori
I'll second James' poem. It is very thought provoking and with the recent suicide bombings in London still very much in the news, scarily topical

Thanks Lori - but you certainly deserved it. :)
Thank you very much Fran and Nina for my nomination - greatly appreciated; though I wish the material for my poem didn't exist.
Thank you - and thanks to Lori for the work sorting the awards out.

I hereby nominate Grace's poem "Excalibur" as found here:
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?...ost&p=69584
for the Crown Jewels award.
I find this jewel best demonstrates form in writing. It has rhythm, rhyme, meter and is a genuinely wonderful story to read and re-read!
Congrats Grace! ~Cleo

Hi Lori !!
I'd like to nominate Grace's MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM for a Faery Award, may I?
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=8361
She's still doing a little work on it, but it's so beautiful that I can't wait any longer to suggest this nomination...
Hugs, Sylvia PS: BTW, I found it a trifle difficult to find this nomination forum. In the Index at the bottom it just says something about Kings & Queens, but the words "member's nominations" (or something to that effect), doesn't figure. I suggest a change here, Lori, to make it clearer to members that THIS FORUM is where one posts suggestions for awards. What do you think? I'm posting the suggestion here, since this is where my difficulty cropped up, and I've been a member for quite a long time !!!

Hi Lori !
May I suggest Merlin's DESERT CROSSING for a Faery Award? I think it's a brilliant poetical description of crossing a searingly hot desert, without using the words that were banned in the challenge. Plus a few other words that Merlin also chose to avoid... impressive !!!
And such original imagery and thoughts, all in villanelle form, or, as Merlin puts it, Vill & Nell !!!

Hugs, Sylvia

FAERIE AWARD: Liz' poem, 'Senescence'. It's a wonderful Triolet, demonstrating shifts in meaning, as it should do. It's inspiring to see the way she worked on it, and the subject matter is poignant. She shows the old person's feelings rather than telling them. Yep. A big fat beautiful Faerie award is merited; she made me want to write a Triolet.

FAERIE AWARD. Jax, for 'The Taste of Peach is Heavy on our Tongues.' Brilliant freeform. Poetic language. Originality. And he gutted me with the content. My freeform muse is raring to go. Do you have any male faeries? Oh well. He's not partial to them anyway, but a beautiful Sprite is a kind of faerie, and he'd like that I think. Please, a magic supernatural being to grace Jax' tiles. http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10194

FAERIE AWARD. I nominate Nada Lott for 'A Sharecropper's Prayer.' It is written in anapestic metre, which is not easy. I'm inspired by the way she did it so naturally, incorporating local lingo as she went. The poem is worthy in itself; the easy pace, unobtrusive rhymes, the poignant story so well shown and neatly concluded, combine to create a very pleasing piece of work. She also manages to include assonance in all that, and retains the principle character's voice throughout. This is a very good poem, but I want the Faerie for her because she captured the anapestic spirit and delighted my muse. http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10187
