Dr Seuss finalized - finally!

Blog Posted:4/13/2019 4:25:00 PM

Thanks to all of you who have been so patient with my most recent contest. I have been away because, after almost a year of unemployment, I recently was hired, but I have been so busy training for my new position, plus several home issues, that I neglected my PoetrySoup family - a thousand apologies! 

There were many impressive entries - I just picked the ones that made me smile the most, but all were amazing; thank you all for sharing your lovely Dr Seuss tributes, and congratulations to all the winners!
