David, what a man really wants is to have his Honourable mention returned to its rightful owner! I'm so sorry she has done this to you but its not the first time stuff like this has happened, pulled contests springs to mind. hugs Jan xx Perhaps you could run a contest asking for information about the missing item lol hugs jan xx

My honourable mention in Julia Wards contest has been stripped, torn away from me, by some thief in the night, well actually it was daytime, I only took my eye off it for a second, would the interloper please return it to its rightful owner, REWARD for any information that leads to the prosecution and conviction of the scoundrel!

David, sorry this happened, we all saw the winner's list and that you were on it. Some people should not host contests, especially fickle ones.

Gosh David you did well to place in the contest - as for mean comments you just have to look at the sponsor herself, I think she she has a degree in it lol:-) she wont allow comments on her own poems but likes to spew her opinions - check out my 'float on poem' - she started on me at a very early stage in my writing. at least I write about poop... hugs jan xx

Julia, mean and disgraceful are fitting for contest sponsors who are fickle. What a disgrace to post contest winners only to remove one after the fact. If the shoe fits.

Julia , take a GOOD look in the mirror and then you will see who is mean! who is it who pulls contests, sends soup mails demanding people remove poems from your contest and writes that scatology is not a subject for poets to write about ... well at least I just write about poop.

Meanness is a trick of JA not of JW. "Started on me" - no that's a regular JA speciality on me, not mine on you.

I got an honourable mention, how good is that, yeah it’s strange when people have others blocked from commenting, but don’t mind using them as a medium to opine, thanks a lot, cheers David

Ah, David, how amusing! I find great delight in your eloquently crafted Monoku, so perfectly aligned with the literary prowess I have come to associate with your penmanship.

The man about town has a high tolerance. How many shots for a scantily clad lass? A perfect complement to the quote! Thanks for the smile, David.

David Kavanagh

Thanks for stopping by Anaya, I’m not sure if I’ve ever done ten shots lol, this one is indeed complimentary, cheers David

Totally in sync with what I'd expect you to write... it's the thought that counts LOL I wrote about men ogling women in bikinis, too but I'll not enter it in that contest in case the sponsor changes her mind again and suddenly the contest is about lumberjacks or who knows what! Love this one, David. Cheers with martinis on this one.

David Kavanagh

Thanks Lin, this one could’ve taken an all together different route, I think most people will see it’s just a fun follow on from the prompt, hopefully the contest runs it’s course, and I’m not chopping down trees next week lol! cheers David
