Winners are announced. Wait, is

that eight syllables?

***

The poem's lovely.

Its own story is awkward.

It makes people laugh.

***

The author's human.

There's poor judging practices

that need to be fixed.

***

Vocal needs to hear

its creative consumers

to truly succeed.

***

Transparency should

be prioritized to build

trust in creators.

    I learned from class that if you do not follow directions on the assignment, you risk getting a zero or points deducted. I get that 'sometimes, you got to break the rules', but not always. I admit I do find loopholes, but I make sure to follow the guidelines as much as possible. Every contestant should be judged fairly, regardless of popularity, and make sure the contestant follows the rules.

  • I wish someone could print this out, shred it and force-feed it down the judges throats!

    They just can't help themselves, it seems.

    Yes! Why even have any guidelines if they’re not going to follow them?
