  1. Just curious if the Poem by David Huebert is about Bloor Street in Toronto, Canada. I live on this street. Best wishes for the six winners.

  2. I would imagine it is Bloor Street in Toronto, but it could really be anywhere as there are few details about the street itself.

  6. Arshrock, I am afraid I don't know the age of the writers. I have no right to know, anyway.

  7. I don't think there was any age limit on the poets right?
