Honorable Mentions

A contest note- an honorable mention 
It's nice to see...it received attention 
Third or second or even last place 
Remember- writing poetry...is not a race
  
Writing words from within your heart 
To me, will always...top the chart 
No matter what a judge might judge 
It's not a race...don't hold a grudge
 
I've judged myself- so hard to do 
I'll always, ever...appreciate you 
It's just my mood, perhaps, that night 
I don't always get it right 

Right? ...right! 
So, go ahead and write 
Don't think your poetry does not belong 
Perhaps, a judge just judged it wrong

Hi Charlie, I don't know if I have asked you before, who would you recommend to me to publish a poetry book. I actually almost finished preparing it last year by about November and then we sold our house and moved into a smaller one, so things were a little hectic. I was told to approach Amazon as publishers, do you think that we be a good move? Hugs, Jennifer.
