Thank you for placing me, Rob. It is especially remarkable because today is the 32nd death anniversary of the subject hero in my poem, it is a national holiday here in the Philippines. In a way, the placement made up for the previous N/A and my own contribution to the remembrance of our history as a nation. More blessings in all your undertakings.

The first lady during that time referred to in the poem, Rob, and it's 3,000 plus.:-)

Kim, your poem brought back some very vague memories. I remember somebody over there owned many pairs of shoes, I cant remember which wife it was. It is sad that good leaders are sometimes killed. Thank you for participating in my contest.

Thank you for the placement, Rob. Cool contest. And I think it's a great idea to post the reasons for N/A's, as well. That really helps to give a little insight, I think everyone should do it. Lycia

It takes more time, but posting the NA summary is very helpful. It would be nice if everyone did it. Thank you for participating in my contest.

Thanks Rob I do appreciate my placement in your contest. It's always great way of getting extra exposure to a poem you feel slipped through the net for whatever reason:-) hugs jan xx

Extra exposure and gives a poem a second chance. Hugs.

I'm so sorry I missed this one. I really don't know how. I've joined one of your contests before. I wasn't joining contests for a bit, so perhaps that's it, but I do have some N/A's that I could have entered and hoped for a placement. I hope you have another one going. I promise to join that one! :)

Eileen Manassian
Date: 8/19/2015 2:24:00 PM

Did it on purpose, you know....

Rob Carmack
Date: 8/19/2015 11:40:00 AM

Sorry, I can not reply to your last comment for it contained a homophone error. :)

Eileen Manassian
Date: 8/19/2015 10:57:00 AM

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind. Now that I know there is another one coming...I will be more vigilant in checking. :) Thanks....Yes, those homophones can be a pain....pane! ;)

Rob Carmack
Date: 8/19/2015 10:54:00 AM

Eileen, I can soup mail, I just have to remember to do so. Caution though, follow the rules of the contest. I am very strict with them. For instance; one spelling mistake, no matter how small, will NA the poem. Besides spelling and homophones, I don't care much for other grammar rules.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 8/19/2015 10:30:00 AM

Will you kindly soupmail me? I don't usually check the contest page, and if it fills up that quickly, that could explain why. I'd really appreciate it. Every time I see those N/A's it gets to me...My babies need to be recognized...that is, if you place them! ;) Thanks!

Rob Carmack
Date: 8/19/2015 10:28:00 AM

Hey Eileen. My contests usually fill up quickly, 24-48 hours once posted. The Screwed contests is a series, so there will be another next month. Hope to see you in the next one.

Was so delighted to see you get the top spot:-) very well deserved:-) hugs jan xx

Yes, I loved 'The Artist'. Normally, I wouldn't have four 1st place finishers, but i loved all of your poems with the same intensity. I read them over and over but still came back with 1st placements. Thank you very much for the submission. Hugs.
