JUDGING IS STILL IN SESSION
ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNERS HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL TOMORROW.
"If Only You'd Tell Me" Contest Entries-
daniweewee.deviantart.com/favo…****************END UPDATE************
Of the seven judges I had helping me, I have received notice from THREE that they will be unable to help me judge.
I would like to announce the winners to "If Only You'd Tell Me" on Saturday, but I'm growing a little nervous. I know I'll pull it off, but if anyone reading this journal would like to step in as a last minute judge, it would be much appreciated.
All you would need to do is read through all the entries
daniweewee.deviantart.com/favo… (FOUND HERE) and choose five favorites from among them, noting me those five in order of likeness. Also, keeping in mind the contest theme, the overall impact of the writing, creative use, and correct use of grammar, etc. That's all I'd be looking for.
I'm willing to receive help from those who have entered, I only stipulate you cannot vote for your own piece.If anyone is willing to help me judge, note me your five favorites by FRIDAY! Thank you!

I just received something from my wishlist in the mail!

THIS!
It's a nice big print that will go perfectly in my basement as I have one red wall down there right now and so it will accent it well on the white wall.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
Saberhawk65!!!
If you don't know him, go on over to his gallery! He's a very wonderful photographer and an even better friend.

Circle of lifeA baby cries
It is fed and satisfied.
A young girl weeps
Swears a promise she must keep.
The middle-aged smile
As they begin the final mile.
An old man sighs
Looking back before he dies.
All life must close
Shrivelled drooping of a rose.
But the sun again will rise
Somewhere a new baby cries.

We're going to the park now.

Why, 'cause you want to poop?
Stop farting, it's so gross!
but we shut up when that guy passed us, and then
That poop joke was funny, eh?
Yeah, it's so fun to reenact scenes from movies!
'Cause it's not real at all, right?
but we totally OTL-ed at that.

So we got to the store, and
we wanted that ice cream so badly, but
my stomach was rebelling against me, so
we headed on over to..
Wherever the bathroom used to be, I guess.

Deity.I don't love you.
I deify you like man
deified fire.
I look up to you like an astronomer

I worship you like a sunflower

Repentance for the BirdsTo find a smart, loyal friend
you must be one;
the same goes in love.
I was taught long ago
what "birds of a feather" meant,
but now it's coming true
in my life.
Good flocks to good,
and evil to evil.
My qualities and faults

If I don't really fancy
the company I'm keeping,
it's time I changed my stripes--
or washed them off.

Honey-Toned RockGranules of honey toned rock are nestling in the corners of your eyes as the ridges of your velvety fingertips smear jet into the hollows of your cheekbones. You don't know whose silk sheets have abetted your slumber, but you are glad because they may have eased the throbbing within the confines of your skull. Blobs of colour - yellows, greens and reds - soar across the walls and block your vision as it tries to adjust to the darkness of the surroundings.
Shafts of lukewarm light lie across the folds of black silk caressing the curves of your calves as fingernails trace the shadows falling across your face. The droplets of water trailing across the floorboards spin to drip from the ceiling, enveloping your face in false tears that roll down to be lost in the threads of lace that frame the milky skin stretched around your bones.
Fractures of sound deafen your hazy thoughts, echoing down your spine and back again as the pale oak sitting under the lampshade steadies your world. Swirls of

we kept your secret well once we returned -
no blushing cheeks - and went about our business undisturbed.
my memory is fading; for your room, it bears no name.
soon, I hope, you'll take a fairy

The judging for the contest is going ok so far - you people are great writers!
