Over the past two weeks, I have had the pleasure of reading all of the fantastic submissions for the 2012 Dragon Poetry Contest. A special thanks to M.R. Mathias for letting me host this wonderful event again this year.
Now for the the moment you have been waiting for . . .
With a poem titled The Death of Erasmus Stone, R. J. Spindle claimed 3rd Place!!! Congrats, R.J!!
And our very talented runner-up, with a poem titled The Ashlands, is Nick Palmer!! Great job, Nick!!
I’ll pause so you can stand and clap.
And our WINNER, with a poem titled Cinders, is Peter Wilkin!!!!
Congrats of to each of these very talented writers, and a thank you to all the other writers for their wonderful submissions. M.R. Mathias will be publishing an anthology featuring all poems. Details to follow.
Check back this Sunday for a posting featuring the winners’ poems!
I really enjoyed writing for this competition and Peter’s wonderful poem ‘Cinders’ is a very worthy winner!! Really look forward to the anthology…thank you!
I know Peter, and always felt “Cinders” is one of his best efforts. Congrads to him, and to you for recognizing that.

Sincere thanks to you & MR Mathias for running this poetry competition & for selecting my poem ‘Cinders’ as the winner. I am very excited about winning &, also, very humbled that my poem has been chosen. I know a number of people who also entered the competition & they really are incredibly talented poets. Really looking forward to the anthology &, once again, thank you for choosing ‘Cinders’.
Congrats to the winner…
Congratulations, Peter. “Cinder” is an incredible poem and deserves a place like this. Well done!!
Really pleased that my mate has won this award … Nuf said….
Congratulations, Peter! You and “Cinders” deserve the award. Well done.
Congratulations Peter and the rest! Any time poetry is brought to readers– we are all winners! I’m proud to call you friend, Lisa!
Sincere thanks to everyone for all your lovely comments & congratulations ~ that is so kind of you all
Congratulations! Is there a way to see the other submissions as of yet? I know the anthology probably isn’t up yet.
Congratulations to Peter! I’m a little surprised we (Rhiannon and I) placed 3rd! We were writing down to the wire. Thank you so much for the competition. I love having challenges in writing, and this certainly was one! I can’t wait until NEXT time.
Congratulations to the Winners! Looking forward to reading, I did not see any post on Sunday to read, did I again over look something? I look forward to when the anthlogy comes out and seeing all the Dragon poetry. I enjoyed contributing. Thanks for putting smiles on everyone’s faces. Genora

Hi Genora! Thanks for stopping by!
I’m a little behind with posting this week. Should have the winners’ poems up this weekend 
The anthology will be out in a few months and we will do a post once it is live 
Talk about belated responses, Peter. So immersed in other worldly stuff, this passed me by! Very well done to you, my friend. Always felt that it was a striking poem with such magnificent imagery. You so deserve this accolade.
