About Prizes:


First Place - 15 SBD

Second Place - 10 SBD

Third Place - 5 SBD

Deadline - October 25 16:00 (4:00 PM) UTC





The winners of the previous contest!



Under the terms of the pilot episode, the winner is only one - @tony-duke



If only i was the "Lord of the Time"

I would pause the good and joyous moments

But men we are, we live on till we die

" Tick Tock", the clock of death



But I would like to mention a few more authors. Consolation prizes - 5 SBD to each.


@wandrnrose7


As each leaf falls to the earth,

Disintegrates, then dies,

I come to understand my birth

And look toward renewed life.



@lymmerik


The journey you take away from birth,

The high road taken or the low,

That toy you played with in the dirt?

Was that a hundred years ago?



And also the author who made me smile :) Consolation prize - 3 SBD


@rayne122


This poem is just a steppingstone,

That's what it was always suppose to be,

Don't waste your time anymore,

Just give the SBD to me !!!




Attention! The author's grammar is preserved - spelling and punctuation!

What was the pilot for? And what did you test or learn from it? Good to see so much response to the very first contest. I believe its something to do with your pilot run. Congrats for it!

Here is one more entry if you still have some appetite left. But you have full FREEDOM to read or skip it anyway 😊
