Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
the envelope, please
INTRODUCTION
Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
If you don't know the criteria for this challenge, you can catch up on the rules for Prompted #3 HERE.
Thanks to everyone who participated!
THE WINNERS
Of the total of 7 entrants, these are the poems that made it into the Winner's Circle:
1st Place: $20.00 - "After the Eclipse" by Matthew Fromm
2nd Place: $15.00 - "I Am My Own Play" by Lindsay Sfara
3rd Place: $10.00 - "Automatic Writing" by D.J. Reddall
Congratulations to each of you! Well done!
CONCLUSION
Thank you again to everyone who took part in Prompted: #3. Thanks, also, to those who helped spread the word. Although participation in these challenges has dropped considerably, there are some die-hard challengers still on Vocal.
Congratulations once again to the To the Prompted: #3Winner's Circle!
There have now been two poetry challenges and a fiction challenge. You may have noticed a pattern developing, bringing us back to fiction for Prompted #4. That's right! Polish up those prose pens and stay tuned for the May Writer's Challenge; a.k.a. Prompted: #4.
If you enjoy these challenges and want to see them continue, please let me know in the comments. A "like" and subscribe would be appreciated, as well!
At this point, I have committed to running the Prompted: #4 Challenge, but if the participation levels continue to dwindle, I don't know that there will be a Prompted: #5. So, please do let me know if you want more of these and, if you've been hesitant to participate, jump in on the next challenge and help breathe some life into the competition.

PROMPTED: INTRODUCTION After a bit of travel out of the country, I'm back to Vocal and ready to dive into another edition of the Prompted Writer's Challenge. I hope you're ready, too. The past two challenges generated a lot of great entries and I look forward to seeing what transpires from Prompted: #3. So, let's get to it!

Create Your Personal Vocal Homepage
I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.

How Google Rank Web Blog Posts on SEO
In the vast digital landscape where millions of websites compete for attention, appearing at the top of Google's search results is the ultimate goal for many businesses and individuals alike. But how exactly does Google decide which website blog posts deserve those coveted top spots? The answer lies in its sophisticated ranking algorithm, a complex system designed to deliver the most relevant and high-quality content to users.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hi Randy, Great work with another challenge. I didn't see this one in time to enter (and don't have much faith in my poetry anyway), but I'll certainly look out for the upcoming fiction challenge.

Randy, I would love to participate and will with this challenge. I struggle to keep track of all of them going on now to be honest! I love the fact that people are enticing others into writing in new forms. Please keep doing what you're doing. It's a great thing.

I love your challenges. Even though I didn’t participate in this one, the draw was there, the time was not. Can’t wait to read about the next one. Also, I’m hoping they go forward with creating a creator prompt community. It will be much easier to find the current challenges.
Wooohooooo congratulations to all the winners! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊 Looking forward to Prompted #4!
So sorry I missed this, will keep an eye out for future ones, though my latest challenge that closes on the 1st of May and has been open since the 1st of April has had one entry. C'est la vie, love what you are doing here
I’m not a poet but enjoy other people’s poetry a lot. All of the winning entries are gems!
Congrats to the winners! I truly enjoyed this challenge and absolutely want more in the future. I'm looking forward to the next one for fiction. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you Randy! Great challenge as always. The form was definitely difficult so I don’t blame people!!
