Kim Merryman's Blog
 Hi! My name is Kim Merryman. I was born April 27, 1959 in Louisville, KY but grew up in Rancho Cordova, CA. My husband's name is Rob. We were married on May 30, 1981 and we have two grown sons named Daniel and Matthew, and a black cat named Max.
I currently live in Niceville, FL located in the Florida Panhandle, near Eglin AFB. With my husband being in the Air Force we have moved around a little. We have lived in California, Florida, Texas, Okinawa and North Carolina.
I am a Christian and many of my poems reflect that. I've only been writing poetry for 7 years. Most of my inspiration comes while I'm reading my Bible.
My other interests include reading, crocheting, counted-cross stitch, and playing Scrabble.
I'm so glad I found Poetry Soup. Since becoming a member I have learned so many new forms. The contests have stretched my creativity and the positive comments are so encouraging. Even though I've never met you, I feel like I know you. Looking forward to a long, happy relationship with all of you.

The results are in, the contest has been judged. Congratulations to all winners and thank you for supporting my contest.
I must admit I was a bit surprised that 10 entries out of the 35 didn't meet the requirements of my contest. The main thing being they were not acrostics. A couple of them were lovely poems but they weren't what I asked for. Anyways I'm getting ready to post a Christmas contest. Be on the lookout!
Love, Kim
