We were blessed with some wonderful poems and poets for our final Eye On Life Poetry Contest.  Please click the links above to read about them and to read their prize winning poetry.  

The EOL Poetry Contest 2014 was judged by a panel of 5 judges.  Four of the judges interacted with each other while the fifth acted as a "secret" judge, scoring the poems without any outside influence.  One of the winners remarked on my good taste in choosing this year's winners, but as in other years I can take no credit.  Instead I give the credit to our fine judges who scored impartially and with great care.  We could not have done it without them.  Thank you. 

I know you will enjoy their choices. 

Best regards,
