Congratulations to Chris, and to Carolyn.
But if you're right, John, then while I can understand a competition that insists that poems must rhyme, it seems curiously perverse to disqualify them for doing so. Of course, Shakespeare had a whole play to get through, so blank verse is understandable. But a mere 16 lines is another matter.
And ... err ... is it just me, or, with the exception of a line or two, do you get the impression that Lucy wasn't looking for much in the way of humour either?
