*Disclaimer: The winners are based on the entries which the judges think are the best. I am not saying anyone is a bad poet, we will not say that. Instead, we seek to offer you our encouraging and supportive feedback as a fellow poet. Our opinion takes into consideration many things that can add or subtract to the value of a poem, including:

• grammar / Does it make sense?
• flow / Are there any unclosed loopholes that leave me confused?
• rhythm
• rhyme
• imagery / Can I imagine the pictures the words paint?
• feeling / Does it cause a reaction?
• and emotional pull / Do I suddenly have an opinion?

Yes I am the only judge of the poetry dice contest right now, but I am wishing and hoping someone else will want to join in and take a turn, too. Two or three heads are better than one, so if you would like an opinion too, please let me know and we can chat up which poems we like best for the week and why. :-)

Without further ado, I give you the Winners of Week 26 PDC3K!

1. Armonia "in search of your love" 2. Clayboyn 3. Gilmored "A chance for romance".

3. Make a post from your poem and use “poetrydice,” as your first tag.

Thanks again for participating in the re-vamped Poetry Dice Challenge 3000!

I really wanted everyone to have another opportunity to be inspired by a semi-structured poetry contest that is unique. Rory's Story Cubes have been an inspiration for me for many years, and Steemit has provided an opportunity for me to share that inspiration with you.

Whether you are taking a break from your own flow, or you desperately need pushed over the writer's block edge...this poetry challenge is for you. All of us coming together and sharing our versions of how the dice speak to us, is what makes this weekly challenge so great. I hope the roll of the dice will continue to be an inspiration for you and the ones close to you. Cheers! And thanks for all you do!
