Hi, Mac...thanks for sponsoring another wonderful contest. I would have loved to have entered it, but like other poets, I missed the deadline! I thank you for the Honorable Mention in your last contest Anything Goes Again. I will submit my entry for your new contest, considering I will have ampler time to enter it. I wish luck with your new contest, and I anticipate a huge hit! Have a wonderful weekend and God bless you. Kindest Regards, Andrew.

Thanks Mac, for the heads up. Some of these contests come and go so fast that we havenn't time to post our best. It seems you and I have similar ideas as to what constitutes good poetry. I have only been writing since I lost my son in 1999, ten years. Thanks again. Joyce
