My first Poetography Contest was a success, and I would like to thank all those who supported and submitted their entries. Lots of beautiful write-ups which were created accordingly to the picture shared on the post.

This time, I would be announcing the winners for both language categories, English and Tagalog.

English Winners:

First Place:

@catherinebleish- Mother Nature Speaks

I can feel the words as if it’s the nature that speaking straight to my eyes and it connected through my heart. The flow of every thoughts are colorful yet coherent.

Second Place:

@sisonengg- Murdered by thoughts

It’s very timely and relevant. It describes the daily status quo of people nowadays and simple things that we can do to achieve peace of mind in this world full of troubles.

Third Place:

@foragingquietude- Refreshing the Soul

This is a kind of free verse which is soothing to read even without the help of rhyming words. It is a bit short yet full of message that strikes and catches the soul.

Commentary from the English category judge @escuetapamela.

Tagalog Category

First Place:

@wondersofnature- Alaala ng Kamusmusan

Subalit kung dumating na ang panahong paraisoy kailangan ko nang lisanin,
Sana ay kagandahan mo`y muling ipamalas saakin.
Awit ng mga ibon, haplos ng mga hangin,
Hakbang ng mga paa, sayaw sa buhangin.

Second Place:

@stewart-suarez- Maling Akala: Akala ko Malapit lng Tayo pero Malayo pala

Iniwan mo ang puso ko magdurusa
Sakali ako nilimot mo na
Hahanapin pa rin kita
Pangambang di na makita

Source

Third Place:

@diosarich- Nagdurugong Puso

Ngunit ang makita kang walang magagawa ay di ko kaya
Kaya minsa'y hiniling ko sa Maykapal
Mas mabuti pang bumalik ka na sa Kanya
Upang matapos na ang iyong paghihirap

Quoted are the last parts of each poetry entry.

Congratulations to all the winners!
