Souper Brand of Brian Strand

I shoulda seen it comin’ my way - The Judgment Day Bears the brunt of judging as gold Rakes piles of entries, old and new Insists - "completely up to you" As long as you do as you're told Note, read the blog to make it through Submissions, like lava, pour in Tempting many soupers to win Review as you give it a shot Ace of Judges snubs dull and bland No to acrostic, rhymed or not Dare I disobey Brian Strand Strand’s contests I deem Brian’s Blast - Meaning high praise and no shade cast!

Better a rebel, a nerd rather than a blind follower of the herd! Congratulations on your top win in Brian’s contest. I guess you left him with little choice!

You know his is the only contest I ever won. I never read his blog or did anything. I just saw his contest and entered. I've never understood all this shade people throw on him. Judging poetry is highly subjective. I enter contests I know I'll never win because the person judging doesn't appreciate my poetry, and I can tell that. I just want to give their form a try. I don't throw a fit about not winning. I appreciate the opportunity. Bryan sure offers a lot of opportunities.

Oh, thought I detected some cheekiness... after I replied. So, I shoulda said something like "Yeah, Brian's way or the highway."

We are in agreement! No shade;), I pay homage to him. Brian is great and what he does on a regular basis is admirable!

Completely up to you, so long as you do as your told, reminds me of Nirvana’s, ‘come as you are’ (Take your time, hurry up Choice is yours, don't be late), and your coup de grâce you dared do this in a rhyming acrostic Margarita, naughty but nice, great writing cheers David
