Many thanks to the  hundreds of  PS poets who have shared their talents with me over the past 100 days of these premiere contests .

Especial greetings to the 29 poets who now have one or more of the coveted permanent  PS Gold Symbol in their database here.Also greetings to the 63 PS poets who have one or more podium places recorded against their poetry contest results  page.Not forgetting the 120+ PS poets who have achieved a 4- 10 placing with one or more of their poems.in my contests.You are very talented PSoupers and have my sincere thanks for sharing your giftings so frequently with me.

A creative 2017 to you all.

and a reminder to newcomers to PS in my contests 

 You are  welcome to submit any  winning , placed(or unplaced for that matter) poems from your back catalogue and especially  ( from earlier PS contests) before PS introduced their premiere trophy arrangement AND re-submit any  4-10 placed poems in these premier contests of mine

Brian, a Happy New Year to you too! And thanks for these contests that inspire us to write a new poem or dust off an old one, it's a bit like gambling!!
