Francine Roberts's Blog
 There really isn't much to tell that hasn't been covered in my poetry. Love this site, love the new friends I've made. I am a single woman, work full time, family grown and on their own. When I was in highschool all I wanted to do was write. Life got in the way. Now I have all the time I need to indulge my passion.

My apologies for taking so long to finalize the contest, but luckily because of my procrastination , two entries that had absolutely nothing to do with the contest were removed and that opened the spaces for two lovely poems that were on topic. Several poems did not have the date written on the entry, they did not place. Without that date I could not be sure this was a NEW poem which is why both my blog and the contest itself emphasized in each ... No date=no placement. I have not checked my winners list yet but will in a bit just to see who wrote what. There were several entries that wrote about spring/nature. The contest specifically asked for romantic poems . I hope everyone will check out the winners list and read the beautiful entries. Now I am off to congratulate the winners...... I totally messed up my finalizing first time aroound , had to reopen and fix it as I had missed one of the winners, if you've already been through the list and missed Carries wonderful poem, please go back and read it.
