Morbid Resolutions

The runner-up in the Ruthless Rhyme Competition is Rosemary McDougall with her Good Intentions. She scored 20 points, just one behind Angela Perkins with George’s New Year’s Resolution. In third place is Elizabeth Francis with A New Year’s Hobby and a score of 13 points. You can read all three rhymes in our Blog.

Ruthless Ranking Process

In the competition to write a Ruthless Rhyme, 47 budding and flowering poets submitted 65 entries. Of these, 55 were long-listed and 12 short-listed by a panel of ten judges. A judge’s first choice scored five points, second choice three and third one. When all the judges had voted, their scores were entered in a spreadsheet and the top three rhymes automatically emerged. We will shortly publish profiles of the top-scoring poets, along with the names and brief profiles of the judges.
