The Muse ipoem contest has concluded and our semi-distinguished panel of judges has made a decision. We enjoyed viewing and hearing them all, and had a difficult time choosing our first place winner, who will receive an ipod shuffle. We’d like to announce our top winner as well as two runner ups, who submitted fine poems. You can find all three of these online by going to the Arapahoe Web page and looking for ipoem winners.

1st Place, for the poem “Cthulu (pronounced ku-thew-lew) Converses with his Master” by Allie Fresch

1st runner up, for the poem “Tekel” by Olyver Mycroft

2nd runner up for the poem “The Difference Between Life & Living” by Brittany Knigge

Allie, please come by the Language Arts office and see Mr. Miles to pick up your new ipod shuffle! Thanks to all who participated, and thanks to Mrs. Graham!
