popping up to ask if poem exceeding 19 lines would meet the criterion for this contest or the upper limit is 19 lines?

Hi Stan
Considering a good response to the contest which ended on 28th I guess there could be a good level of enthusiasm among participants about which poem the judge chooses to be the winner...
good luck to all participants..
