Welcome to my page!

I am a man of many interests - TOO many, I think, lol - and because of that I never gave writing the attention I should have when I was young. I started writing poetry in December of 2016, and joined Poetry Soup at the same time. I am currently working on an R&B/Soul album for a major label, so, as has usually been the case, poetry does not get the time I'd like to give it, (though I plan to change that in the future, and write a book-or-two, a sci-fi novel and an autobiography) ...

I like to incorporate classic styles and phrasing into a modern frame when I write poetry, and try to cover a wide range of genres, but I enjoy the darkly sensual the most, despite its limited audience. I hope you'll give my rather unusual style a chance, read a piece-or-two, and leave a comment, if you'd be so kind. I also hope you'll visit my music web site as well, (at the following address under my moniker "Bahku") - mostly (very) old recordings there, but also a snippet of the first single coming, and more new stuff soon!

www.bahku.com

Thanks for stopping by my page - blessings!

Greg, I wish I could help you fix this. There's no need since you've listed the winners here. Congratulations to them all!:-) Too bad the thread where I explained the step-by-step instructions how to do so is long gone now! Unfinalize your contest and go through everything with a fine-tooth comb. You forgot to do something.

I figured it out, Sir Edward - I did NOT click on "Update" but went directly to "Finalize", assuming that would update by default - lesson learned!

Admins replied saying I didn't choose placements, which I DID, and because it didn't post I went back, un-finalized, and chose them AGAIN! Still didn't work. I checked everything else twice as well. I always do everything on paper, too, so thankfully I have hard copies. Thanks, Brother.

by the way, Greg. Your contest says "winners not chosen" and yet I got my announcment in my email box. Also, I just saw Craig's entry with a trophy next to it at his poetry page, so it WAS counted; otherwise, how could a trophy be assigned to him? That glitch is so weird!!!

I noticed that, to, Andrea , so I'm thinking people DID get credit for placements. When I finalized it DID say that "ten emails have sucessfully been sent", so I knew folks had been informed, that's why I was so surprised to see the results missing. Weird glitch. I checked every stage before the second finalization, thinking maybe I'd missed something, but I hadn't - it was all ok on my end. Something in the system. Odd.

Thank you for my lucky number 5 placement. It's so strange when this kind of thing happens to judges. I've seen it several times in the past year, with others' contests. Will be sure to read the winner list when I get the time. Happy Sunday, Greg.

Congrats on your win, Constance:-) Your title caught my attention as I'm currently at work on a poem called "On Gossamer Wings Of Hope". What a coincidence, huh? lol
