The Importance of Play Winning Entries

Thank you to everyone for participating in this Challenge (: posting, reading, reposting, hearting :) I thoroughly enjoyed each and every entry! All the writes submitted added interesting variations of perspective on the theme of Play--which is such a vital aspect of Life. (I do intend to post something of my own on this... naturally I missed my own deadline! lol!) But on this beautiful Halloween Night I'm pleased to announce the winner's and to post the corresponding readings that were promised. I hope you enjoy! I tried to experiment with layers of sound... it impeded a bit on smoothness of recitation, and I hope you won't be displeased with the unusual variations of rhythm... would have liked to try a few more takes... but alas the Midnight hour is upon us... and So:

The Winners are...
