Thank You Julia Ward

Blog Posted:8/5/2018 6:51:00 AM

Thank you Julia, for my first place trophy in "Your Favorite Poem from August 2017" Contest. I accidentally deleted your comment butter fingers editing my too long reply and I can't soup mail you. I am thrilled and honoured. You are one tough judge to write for! I knew I had a chance writing Doll for Greg's contest, having a sense of his likes and fancies, but entering your contest was on a lark completely. I credit Soup and poets like yourself and Greg for challenging and encouraging me to becoming a better poet. Thank you again.
