I can imagine that it can be quite though to judge a creative competition with a lot of quality entries. So the delay is well justified. ^^

And thank you so much for hosting this! It was quite fun coming up with my entry. Congrats to the other winners! o/

Asking out of curiosity, will the winning entries be posted? I've love to read what others have composed.

I don't know if the winning entries will be posted. Riako asked SilverLugia456 about it when the results were first posted, so I'm guessing they'll be posted eventually (:

Riako usually posts in this thread when the prizes are distributed. Just gotta wait for that :)

Here are the winning poem entries:

First Place: IndecisiveIntellectual

Show hidden content

Title:
Where would you like to go?


I love my job…

I live in the colorful Emera town.
I get to do things that make my life amazing!
I have the power to annihilate any frown,
And send you places, tranquil or hair-raising.

Of the places I watch over, most have no restriction.
But some can only be accessed by chosen ones.
For only those with destiny can face legendary jurisdiction,
Or be able to eat frozen buns.

Camp at a forest, surf at the beach,
Test your mettle at the local haunted house.
Or if perilous excitement is what you seek,
Check out the fire that is impossible to douse.

You can dive into deep space or get a tan,
You may even occasionally find hidden treasure.
But do visit me when you can..
Showing you around would be my pleasure.

Like corn kernels stuck to a cob,
I never stumble.
I absolutely love my job.
The name is Rambo Rumble.

Where would you go? Choose wisely.


Second Place: Avoie

Title: O Emera Town!

Poem:

I wander through our town's centre

Near where the fountain hoards our wishful gold

And see in every face I encounter

A joy that must be seen not told


In every smile of every trainer

In every Pokemon's cry of wonder

In every game, in every endeavour

The harmony of our peaceful town, I remember


O how the Noctowl's cry

Sends the very stars dancing upon the sky

And how the prices the Gem Collector calls

Sends trainers running for plushies at Emera Mall


But though the seasons must still pass

Bringing new events, and Riako's changes to the Tall Grass;

Day by day we citizens refrain:

No other town could we ever love the same


Third Place: Chewydabacca, ImperialHound, Jacharias

Title: An introduction to emera town

Every day the great rayquaza looks down,
At the famous emera town.

Every day, people spend enough pokedollar to make a mountain,
Throwing them in the rigged emera fountain.

If you stay long enough you may find,
A random Legendary Pokémon sneaking up from behind.

I pondered and wonder,
Why do trainers send their Pokémon rumbling in any weather,
Rain, sun, wind or thunder?
Now I know, It’s all to get a galar bird feather.

In emera town, the challenge is enhance(d),
With it’s extremely low shiny chance.

Next we go to see the los seashellos waiter,
Where he charges 10 dollars for a glass of water.
What a scam!
I’m not a fan.
(But I buy it anyway.)

Reading this, you may think I dislike this town all the way.
But I don’t. For its home. And we love it either way.

What do I see?

A tiny sparkling coin in the water below me

Where does it come from?
Who puts it there?
I need to know who
And why and when

I sit on a perch, waiting for something
Here comes a human! What is he doing?

He’s throwing the coin and muttering something
With a loud splash, nothing has happened
He walked away promptly
Looking so saddened

What was the point?
Throwing coins in the water?
What was to happen
Mysterious humans

The next day arrived
And so did the human
He threw in a coin
And muttered again

Splash!
A glimmer of light
Something had happened
He filled with delight

I followed him home
Where he sat with some eggs

His whole party hatched
A shiny mega at last
“My wish came true, I’m finally free!”

I finally knew
The fountain makes wishes come true

My Trainer Life

Getting my first starter Pokémon today..
I can't help but to celebrate.
I wonder what I will say..
The experiences that we will create.

Off to that Prof. Rowan's Lab, I go.
Picking from types of grass, water or fire..
Which one would be best for me though?
But, I'll be happy whatever Pokémon I acquire.

Finally, grabbed a Pokémon from there..
Whoa. My very first Pokémon.. amazing!
Prof. Rowan said to take care..
This feeling is so exhilarating!

I was taught of some basics.
Be careful of the Tall Grass..
Numbers that are lower than six?
Old man that gives you sass.

Interacting with a lot of people
So, my eggs can hatch faster.
Doing this, makes my fingers tremble..
Especially, if these interactions takes longer.

Then, a Ducklett asked for some grapes..
For a juice, that he's gonna make.
I wished that it's recorded in videotapes.
Lots of PokéDollars, that video will rake..

@Jirachilover - The question was about the entries [poems] themselves, not about the users that won ^^'
