Oh, may I second that! I always look forward to Tom's comments, but moreso, his poems which are so important to putting things into perspective. A first-rate poet!

Well, if anyone deserves special attention for his many poems of the day, my vote certainly goes to the man who has served as town crier for all of those who've had their poems chosen... Sir Tom Cunningham.

Ha. I’ll not credit that one with anything of good intent.

I think the boy from Sams blog was on to something when he said we should do a blog for people when they get POTD

You are absolutely correct, he is a pillar of our online community here!

Well said Mark, not everyone looks at the POTD and POTW poems. Tom is such an asset to PS, always the first to congratulate on POTD and his poetry is informative and very well written especially his historical poems and of course his limericks are fab:-) hugs jan xx
