Which is a great segway into my next contest starting today... Another Dr. Seuss inspired contest...details coming soon.....And now...my winners list is selective...but I wanted to make sure that everyone who wrote for the contest got applause that is why I asked for names on the writes, not because I wanted to judge based on "friends" but because I wanted everyone to get recognition, there was still some without names...but there poems are still listed here...This list is not in any particular order, but please, go in search of these poets and writes to read fantastic Dr. Seuss inspired poetry...
