Aloo Denish Obiero Date: 6/11/2023 1:11:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Kim Rodrigues Date: 5/24/2019 9:23:00 PM Wow, really good and so true Login to Reply Stephen Tefft Date: 5/24/2019 9:52:00 PM 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.

Login to Reply Stephen Tefft Date: 5/24/2019 9:55:00 PM I actually feel kind of bad about how good winning made me feel... Good thing my kids are keeping me humble.
