A WINNING PUPPET SHOW!

Blog Posted:9/26/2012 12:49:00 PM

what a thrill,dear soupers!... your entries were impeccable and i was very pleased with how this ride turned out... spots were chosen based on proper use of the septolet, poetic flow,
imagery, and emotional appeal… i enjoyed this one up until the point where i had picked a handful to award… yes, i am truly blessed to have been able to indulge in your poetry…

a few missed on inclusions of a kind of fabric and/or
flavor… some deviated from the theme on puppets, yet they were really marvelous pieces, sigh!.. thank you for making
this contest a success… special mention goes to PD who wrote about the theme using another form; it wowed me!...

congrats to all and the winners!...

now, another surprise awaits you on the contest
page… do browse around and jump in; i’m sure you’ll be excited to see what it’s all about.. here’s a “ trailer..” join!

huggs and lotsa love!!
