VIC PISTER!

A massive congratulations to Vic for a spectacular entry to the "Know your Place" contest! I'm already in talks to have him on my next "Stand As 1" Poetry Radio show either this Sunday 9/29/13 or a future show.

A huge thank you to the other powerful poets that placed, as well! This was one of those very difficult contests to judge because of poor spelling errors or the poem not entirely matching the theme, yet they were great poems in of themselves. Also, to only place 10 poems was quite a challenge. But, I got it done. PHEW!

To everybody reading this, please be sure you all take the time to read all the contest winners here and show your support!

Next Contest coming in another week or two! Be ready! =D

Cheers!
