Annual Story Poem Contest - Carol Eastman's Blog

About Carol Eastman
(Show Details...)
Bloggers Photo

   I sit at my window with my cats and dogs, where I feed my birds daily... Each day my Hubby Mike gives me tid bits from his imagination... before he heads off to work... I try to write for the fun and enjoyment of all... My poems never fit exactly into any contests... Fun story poems have a place here along with children's poetry. I'll be trying to promote them in the future by contests and my poetry. 

Annual Story Poem Contest

Blog Posted:7/13/2015 9:21:00 AM

Dear PoetrySoup Members. My Annual Story Poem Contest has been finalized. They were all wonderful and indeed better than last year. Your placement is according to when you entered and not because I intended it so. Those put in first are presented last. I don't know how to change that. Thank you for participating. You all made the contest a rousing success! Thank you again. Please enjoy reading the results. yeslaughheart... Your friend

That can't be so... I noticed I entered mine as the sixth person, yet am second from the top, so it's certainly not a first - last situation.
