Reminded me of the numerous poems I used to write in my phone notepad and never published or posted in any website. These poems would later get lost together with my phone, having never been released to the world. Indeed "Old poems no one will see" Congratulations Stephen

I only started writing just about 6 years ago and can relate to the scraps of paper I have strewn about although most of them do end up being put onto soup, congrats on your trophy win:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you. I have a totefull of bits and pieces from the last 35 years. Most of it not worth the paper it's written on, except as inspiration for better things.

I actually feel kind of bad about how good winning made me feel... Good thing my kids are keeping me humble. (deadpanned "That's really great, Dad..." eyeroll)
