Jack Huber Thanks to all who participated in my contest, for which I received some sonnets, a septolet, a Monchielle, a musette, and a diamante.
The scores were all within 5 points of each other on my 40 point system (10 points each for conformity to form, level of difficulty, poignancy, and poetic content.) A very close contest, endeed!

The winner of the Grand Prize (an autographed copy of my latest book, A Splendid Alternative, is Manohar Bhatia with his Monchielle, "Beyond the Mountain Wall". Congratulations for a fine poem, Manohar!

Here's the winning piece:

Beyond the Mountain Wall

Beyond the mountain wall
at the end of valley
is beautiful plateau
with a cluster of huts
all same like a ghetto!

Beyond the mountain wall
is a breathtaking scene
the air, so crisp, clean, mild
for coloured flowers to bloom
and bees buzzing in wild!

Beyond the mountain wall
is nature's paradise
with gentle flowing stream
and small pebbles buried
on either banks in green!

Beyond the mountain wall
stands lovely Gothic Church
its tower bell ringing
a soothing soft sound
with people praying, singing!
