About Kim Merryman

(Show Details...)

   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.

I see there is still a problem with the contest page, which must be so frustrating to all of you wonderful sponsors. However, I did see that I placed in your contest Kim, and I am most grateful ! Thank you !

I found the problem and have notified Soup Admin. Take a gander at the top of the contest winners page.... it does not allow us to see the winners for 2013! To post my winners I had to close it for Dec 31 2012!!! Hon, just change your closing date, if it will let you! Then the winners will show up, at least on the first page. Hopefully, Soup can resolve this soon... Hugs Cyndi

Cyndi, I tried to change my closing date on the contest to the 31st of Dec and it worked. Thank you for the suggestion.

Kim Merryman Date: 1/8/2013 8:49:00 AM

Thank you for the information, Cyndi. I did notice that the scroll down box only went as far as 2012. I'm going to see if I can change my closing date. Happy New Year!

Kim, I wrote Soup an email about this. I sure hope we can all have our lists showing shortly!! It would be nice to know all the people who won in my contest!

Kim Merryman Date: 1/8/2013 9:58:00 AM

Andrea, I tried Cyndi's suggestion to change my closing date to 12/31/12 and it worked. My winners have been posted.

Kim Merryman Date: 1/8/2013 8:44:00 AM

Thank you, Andrea. It would be nice to know who the winners are! Happy New Year!
