Winner of Anthology

Although I have not won the prize of money, The Fame will keep me close. Even if the Fame be little above all I can boast. For if the money is all one wants, there is plenty to be had. But I prefer the "Game of Fame" forever it will last. While money goes out the door, my Fame will much endeavor. I cannot think of a better way to land on both my feet, for it is said, with patients read: "Thou shall Reap." It not only pleases me, to know that one of my poems was selected, and even more among the 500 collected. This to be in the Company of great poets, I take my bow and can't say how, the pleasure of this Company shall be.

Hi Marilyn, this is wonderful that you were selected in the book of Anthology. Congratulations dear. I'm not often on PS , not as much as I used to be . I was curious and I went to my first poem to see when I'd joined, and you were one of the poets who welcomed me. So thankful...love and hugs

I found that happening, when I came back last year , they don't comment unless you comment on theirs. Even old faithfuls from years ago , seem to have fallen into that pattern as well. Hugs

Is one too shy to write a comment, even if it's a criticism.
