Bloody hell - that is excellent. I can see why your talent in this won you that award.

Hmm, if there were "a few" survivors of the nuclear war - like some people hiding in Anderson's shelters or underneath the ground - I was just thinking maybe you would have descibed the horrific reactions to them.

One way in which you can improve - but it's a suggestion only - is when you have put "Forever lost" in the last stanza you could add "in desolation" as it will be a powerful line.

I hope this helps :)

Deep..P Very nice...congrats on winning! )

Nuclear war, huh? This poem reminds me of a story I wrote that is kind of similar to this entitled: "Animals of the Future"
Happy writing!

Wow. Excellent poem; I had no idea what it was really about until the last stanza. Beautifully described imagery (even if the imagery is a bit disturbing).
