Had to go to back in time for this one. This Senryu aligns perfectly with my poem, Puppetboy. Jan what a talented writer you are, as well as a prolific producer!!

Thanks for dropping by Judy I was delighted with my first place in your contest. I have had some lovely comments - the one from Abdul in particular has made my day - wish he had joined in the fun - I hope he does the next contest of yours:-) Hugs Jan xx

You know what? I liked yours better than most others. I had written a similar one and decided not to enter because I found yours better. Nice write. I like it very much.

Jan Allison
Date: 4/13/2015 9:07:00 AM

Judy has a new contest up - i do hope you enter it:-) Hugs jan xx

Abdul....no two people are alike. Wish you had entered and you can't say someone's is better than yours. Opinions differ and someone has told me that you are a fantastic poet...At any rate, Nice to meet you...now "Go For It"....we are waiting.....

Jan Allison

Oh Abdul your comment has simply made my day - I wish you had entered the contest as we all got first place and your write would have been on the top step too:-) Hugs Jan xx

I needed to reach my target audience, Jan... and no, we are not all equal, otherwise the list would be in alphabetical order of surnames.

Jan Allison
Date: 4/11/2015 11:22:00 AM

Judy has explained to you how the places are awarded in order of when they are received - we are ALL equal - will you please stop using MY poems to comment like this otherwise I will have to block you from commenting.

ALL OF YOU TO NOTE I was awarded a much higher placement than JAN on the 1st list, and yet apart from Andrea Dietrich, none of you bothered to write about my entry before the contest. I consistently write to a high standard, yet your support is missing. (I exclude Jan and Paul who do write on lots of my poems.)

Jan Allison
Date: 4/11/2015 10:51:00 AM

JULIA you did NOT get awarded a higher place than me in ANY contest where we all got a first place. I would appreciate if you didn't post comments on my poems like - putting negative comments is NOT a way to endear people to comment on your poems! Jan
