The 5 Honourable Mentions

Yes, FIVE... I know there were three places offered for this position in placement,
but there were five works which received the exact number of voting points from the judges, and there was no way,
I was going to take it on myself to choose THREE from the FIVE...
so we will be generous and present the TRUE FIVE and very deserving honourable mentions!

In No Particular Order...

The Song of Leaving BirdsOf tired feathers silken touch,
The ancient tale of pilgrimage
When maple leaves turn red and gold
The soaring spirits know no cage
Goodbye to mists and fading fern
To silver threads of gossamer
The rosehips red and bitter sloes
Until the spring comes young and fair
Goodbye to songs in dreamy dusk
And the warm nests of sunny youth
When wings are weak, the will is strong
And stars will guide us to the South
To the far lands where winter winds
Do not have power over Sun,
So we can return in the spring,
Because home... home is only one.:thumb332512242:
