But it is a close call. Writing is about trying new things and going back to the old ways sometimes. One of my favourites this term. So I think that you should maybe go back and explain your poem a little bit more before the surprise ending. I didn't make myself win, Jessica, because in competitions you don't always win.
Competitions are full of surprises.
That's one reason why I had the surprise ending. The other is because I enjoy books with twisting and turning plots and endings.
