Brian, I appreciate your support for my Flash Poetry Challenge (11). With your very first posted poem on Poetry Soup your knack for brevity was on display. It’s been a masterclass since.

Nice to see you entering a contest, Brian.. A short and sweet introduction to the soup.. I didnt know you had been here for so long.. Wow... You must have seen so much.... This was not really a contest, it was an opportunity to showcase your first poem and I am glad you entered. Thank you.
