Poe-Found Winners
Announcing ViMs June Prompt Results!
ViMs June Prompt is officially over, all the entries have been tallied, and I'm here to announce the winners of the challenge.
Each entry had to take words found in the Poe poem, The Sleeper, and create another poem from them. They could use a few words or all the words. The choice was theirs. Their poems had to be over 200 words long. Other than that, we encouraged each entrant to have fun and to just create.

The other judges and I enjoyed the entries immensely. I, myself, was sad to see the entries come to an end, as I could have continued reading them indefinitely. We finally settled on our favorites and placed our votes.
Now, here, for each one of you to view, are the winners and other entries to the Poe-Found Prompt.

I don't know what to say 😭 I know I don't deserve it, but I really appreciate it more than my paltry vocabulary can vocalise! Thank you so much to the judges: MC, Judey, Lauren, Celia, and River (I'm so sorry if anyone has slipped my mind along with my tears). I've had the honour of reading a few: Cristal's, Angie's, and Paul's—all of them top class! I'll read the others sooon! Congrats to Diane and Paul! And great work everyone!! 💛
