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

Elementary my dear Allison, I already have the shortlist down to 2 scoundrels hmmm

August 30, 2023 at 8:25 AM

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.

August 30, 2023 at 8:37 AM

Hmmm and she has the audacity to call me MEAN!

August 30, 2023 at 6:44 AM

If it takes 10 martinis…oh my…lol! Congratulations on your placement!

August 30, 2023 at 8:37 AM

Sorry Kim my H/M has been stolen, what is the soup coming too lol, cheers David

very cute and funny congrats

August 30, 2023 at 12:10 AM

Thank you Rose, cheers David

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.

August 30, 2023 at 2:00 AM

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.

August 29, 2023 at 12:58 PM

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.

August 29, 2023 at 10:17 AM

No problemo, it’s an open house, nobody blocked all out in the open, cheers David ps send me the link to your poem I can’t find it!

August 29, 2023 at 10:14 AM

I expect that she will be along to have the last word.! hugs jan xx

August 29, 2023 at 10:06 AM

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

August 29, 2023 at 7:25 AM

I’m using online minutes but worth it to type, “Thank you, David for your comments!

August 29, 2023 at 8:33 AM

Save your minutes for an emergency Lin, but of course I’m delighted you stopped by, all good here, hope all is great wherever you are, cheers David

August 4, 2023 at 3:15 PM

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.

August 5, 2023 at 3:31 AM

Hello Lasaad, and thank you so much for the uplifting visit, hopefully the sponsor will find the message embedded sobering, cheers David

August 3, 2023 at 5:10 PM

Damn… you know me so well… ha ha!

August 4, 2023 at 2:48 AM

Join the club Terry, at least we’re honest lol! Cheers David

August 1, 2023 at 11:48 PM

Haha cheeky, funny and l love the fact you said “becoming” sounds so gentlemanly David!! Fun….Debx

August 2, 2023 at 12:49 AM

Very gentleman like that’s me Deb, with a latent teenage streak running through me lol! Glad you enjoyed, cheers David

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.

August 2, 2023 at 12:45 AM

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

August 1, 2023 at 4:32 PM

David, hilarious, hope these are for the bikini contest!

August 2, 2023 at 12:37 AM

Sure is Tania I’m delighted you got a laugh, cheers David

August 1, 2023 at 3:44 PM

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.

August 2, 2023 at 1:24 AM

I best get my axe sharpened up over the weekend lol!

August 1, 2023 at 4:24 PM

Now there's a vision of you I can plainly see, plaid shirt and swinging a huge axe.

August 1, 2023 at 3:56 PM

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

August 1, 2023 at 3:34 PM

hahaha love it:-) hugs jan xx

August 1, 2023 at 4:26 PM

We never know what some minds consider to be good. Your Monoku are always win worthy.

August 1, 2023 at 4:11 PM

You’ve gotta be kidding me this is winner if ever I seen one!

August 1, 2023 at 4:01 PM

not sure the sponsor will but hey ho lol:-) hugs Jan xx

August 1, 2023 at 3:43 PM

Heya Jan, what can I say, I’m glad people are seeing the fun side to this one, cheers David

August 1, 2023 at 3:22 PM

August 1, 2023 at 3:30 PM

Hello yann, thank you for stopping by, I’m delighted you enjoyed this one, cheers David

August 1, 2023 at 3:06 PM

For Julia Wards bikini contest!

August 1, 2023 at 3:04 PM

Funny, David! How about a man in a bikini after ten martinis ;)

August 1, 2023 at 3:11 PM

That would be a Mankini Kim, lol! I’m just following on from the prompt, hey I could’ve used that, cheers David
