oh I just love this. It did not win??? I am with Jack. I would have given it a top place.

hopefully one that does not ask for new poems. I get really annoyed when a judge does a topic that I have written on at least five times and then says it has to be a new poem. There are only so many ways a person can say the same thing. haha

I loved this one - it would have certainly won if I'd been the judge

I don't know Paul. Seems pretty good to me. I read the winners and this one in my opinion was better. Just can't fugure these judges. I like it a lot. Hope you are doing well. Have a great weekend:)

Thank you, Fin, though I must say it does not measure up to your "twas the night I met you" poem! ~ Regards // paul

Dear Paul, such a romantic and sensual scene. Your creative brevity gives tasty morsels of imagery just enough for my hungry heart's imagination to relish, wonder and wander in the ecstasy of the moment. Love it! I hope all is well with you and yours, my inspiring friend. Warmest wishes and hugs.. ~Susan
