Congrats John!! Everybody is a critic these days. I guess we see a few posting here today that sound a little jealous.

....and the friends to make along the way! Even if all you get is a repurposed bowling trophy. Congratulations. - Ken

Inky, congrats to you and SO for your POTD honors overflowing with images that leave their signatures on the soul - "black tourmaline nights," "jade jewels," "tides of topaz" and so many other beautifully crafted lines that are summed up in your last line as you close the door and walk away from pain. Wonderful collaboration. Blessings!

I saw a blog with a lot of hoopla about POTD's or something. Was it this one? I see lots of trophies given to people who really contribute nothing (except for posting up poems), but I guess that's how they like it!! Congrats, John, for POTD

Where's my just desserts? I prefer pie 'Ala Mode' I do love challenges! Randomly I went to one of your first poems "What If" 2/2/20 and was shocked at what I saw (comment). Then the follow up "The Equality OF One" 2/4/20 well worth a Trophy. Congratulations on your POTD John Lawless! Classic

I would have no shelf space if trophies were the kind words of supportive poets and prospective friends on here. Surely there is only the joy of the opportunity to garland someone else and lift them up. I like this. Shortest POTD ever I suspect :))

Congratulations John on this POTD with an important message. Ooh ooh ooh, it's a monohu. Seriously now, are they hard to do? Have a blessed day.

I agree, John. Each of us controls how much we participate; we have no control over rewards, recognition, or whether our poetry will be liked or disliked. Congratulations on your POTD, a good thing for us to think about. Bill

Many congrats John I have it on good authority if you wait another month you will probably get the award again. You still need to add a pic of a trophy to go with the poem too:-) hugs Jan xx
