LITERARY AWARDS
accolades for the Scribble poets

The whole point of Scribble, is the Scribble Poets. For this reason, I decided to look only for awards that are  directly to do with creativity or the art of writing and which will not yield us contact with other writers and publishers. Therefore there are some elegant and prestigious awards for which I am not applying, on the simple grounds that the sites they lead to lead rather to links and other awards, than to more literature. I am looking for such awards as will reflect my own admiration of the poets who are published on Scribble, but at the same time have become aware that for you to receive the best of them, I am going to have to be much sharper than I have been. So I delayed that exercise till I could match your standards. Ironic then, that the first accolade for the Scribble Poets should be one I had not applied for at all. 

NOTE: From time to time sites go down. Where a link is unreachable for longer than a few days I remove it but leave the image and remarks in place until such time as the site is restored or I receive confirmation that it is unlikely to be back. A site mentioned on these pages, but unlinked may well be back soon. 

DRAGONFLY LANDING


 
Odonata Award for Poetry and Prose

SCRIBBLE ACCOLADE FROM DRAGONFLY LANDING

Your web-site is exceptionally fine, with such a wealth of poetry that, I confess, I haven't yet seen all there is to absorb and enjoy. 
You can be sure I'll visit regularly.

Here are two awards for you, the creativity award you applied for and the poetry award which I keep secretly up my sleeve! :) They come to you with my very best wishes, of course. Also, I have given your site a text link on my DL links page, in the 'poetry' section.
 


A DIRECT LINK TO JACKIE'S POETRY
 

WHAT YOU WILL FIND ON THIS SITE

A Collection of Poems by Jackie H.Atkinson, the work of featured Guest Poet Les Mundwiler, and twenty-six links to other poetry sites. Not to mention other creative and thought provoking writing. (for more, see the site award's page) Jackie's poetry is delicate, on occasion brittle, and terse. Yet it is also finely observed, and peaceful. This is a site to which I have returned, more than once, and an award I am proud to receive on behalf of our poets. 

 

THE POETRY OF JONAS


The Jonas Award for Poetic Excellence

WHAT YOU WILL FIND ON THIS SITE

The Poetry of Jonas. "Simple Words from a Simple Guy". Simple, maybe ? Let these gorgeous words give you some idea of why I love this site.

     Both striving to create within 
   ....that one definable moment 

                     A moment when..... 

           A hastily written thought 
           Becomes a poem of love lost 
           An aimlessly whistled tune 
            Becomes a symphony of joy

SCRIBBLE ACCOLADE FROM 'JONAS'

I am proud to send you my award for Poetic Excellence and my award for website excellence!
Also, I have recently become a staff member of a brand new online poetry journal. It is called the Poetic Dreamscapes Online Poetry Journal.  This is a new site and my responsibilities involve searching out quality poetry related websites to add to out links page at the journal. I would like to invite you to add your wonderful site to our growing collection of links.
 
 


A Poetry Award: Rhyme None: Todd Roland
Rhyme None, a poetry Web site
 

WHAT YOU WILL FIND ON THIS SITE

The site is not stylish until you begin to read the poetry. This is engrossing, open hearted, beautifully written verse. Evocative, elliptic, subtle poetry Todd has an apparently light surety, which draws one to read, poem after poem, image after image, with a growing sense of love and delicacy.


SCRIBBLE ACCOLADE FROM TODD ROLAND

Your Web site is excellent. I love it when one creates a forum for writers on the Internet. The poems that you have posted were very good; I spent a lot of time reading through the vast amount of work.

I would be honored if you would accept my award graphic.

 
This award's woodblock print, by the artist Yoshitora, created close to  the end of the Tokugawa period of Japan, 1866, is from the series, "Biographies of the Loyal and Faithful Samurai (47 Ronin).
