Honorable Mention

Honorable mention, a clever invention
To stifle "not good enough"s blow 
An ego, conceited, though truly defeated
"So I am the champion?!" NO

I wish they didn't have it in contests - places 1 - 10 mean something - an HM really means nothing and it seems hard to congratulate someone when their poem achieves this:-( Its a 7 from me for this great poem - it made me grin!!! Hugs Jan xxx

I feel dejected if I get an HM especially if you see winning poems that didn't follow the rules lol - would rather not place at all! Hugs jan xxx

I agree. I received an Honorable Mention in a contest a few minutes ago. I felt inspired. :)
