What Makes Me Smile Winners

Hello
I have emailed each winner and have not received email replies except from 11 of you. Please reply via email as soup mail deletes after six months. Also it is already a challenge matching poets names with email and poem as some vary using pen names. I am giving you time as I know life is busy and holidays occur. I don’t want to include any one’s poem who doesn’t email purposely to be sure of your intent to be published in book form.

I will wait and will send you each a copy of your poem before printing it. Thanks for your support and contribution of your poem.

Yes I got your email thanks so much! I’m trying to decide if the ones who didn’t email have changed their minds. I will give it a month. Some may be on holiday.
