Is it just a punt? An addiction? A desire for approval? A bit of fun? I ask myself constantly.. glad you wrote this! Who let you inside my head? Great win, Constance :)

Sam, for me it is a bit of obsession, like an addiction I suppose, but I am changing that attitude, thank you so much for the compliment on my poem and win, appreciate.

Ink, thank you so much for your contest, nice to know I am not alone, it takes some courage to just turn away from being rejected over and over. That just does not make sense.

Good call. That’s exactly what I do now.

Line, thank you so much for the comment, exactly, what am I thinking ? Well, I have always been a poet used to entering every single contest and so to not is a total turn around. But, I think to be more selective is a better option, and to enter a contest where the sponsor does not appreciate my poetry is a waste of my talent and words. So, my new way is to be very selective where I put my words.
