THANK YOU to

I'd like it to be known that:
- Twelve people voted
- EVERY poem received AT LEAST two votes from people, not even counting people voting for themselves

That, I think, is testament to the high across-the-board quality, and appeal, of all the entries.

Sorry, I was out of town for the results. Gratz to all the winners, but just participating is a form of winning--you just don't get Robert Frost.

Hey, wait a minute...what contest????lol. Don't Annie and Pat seem to win them all? Darned professionals...

LOL. I WISH I was a professional - with loadsamoney - and my name in lights... or plastered on some freeway billboard...oh well, one can only dream! :sleepy:

[Pat~]
