Welcome to my bio! I love poetry, of course, and enjoy interacting with other Soupers. I am originally from Upstate New York, travelled with the U.S. Navy and ended up in the Southern United States.


PRECIOUS MOMENTS

Blog Posted:3/22/2017 11:08:00 PM

Thank you so much for the lovely entries! As most of you, that have run a contest, know, it is very difficult to judge! Many remained unread and unjudged, merely for not reading and following the rules. I bend a little bit, for example if one syllables was off.  

Thank you for entrusting your wonderful work to me! 

Kudos to Deborah Burch who right away went to work with her lovely and encouraging words for all fellow winners. Her warm hug through her words to her fellow poets is noteworthy, in my book!

CONGRATS ALL!

A big hug to you too! You truly make me smile!

... many poems were dismissed, unread, unjudged for not following the rules, yet in the same breath you write that you are lenient in allowing a wrong syllable count. Why the paradox? Of two of the poems that won placements 2 have grammar, and and 1 a spelling error, and 1 with a wrong tense of the verb (I think?). So what does that say to the ones who had their poems unread (your words) . My question did you inform the entrants that didn't follow the rules of what their mistakes were?

Thank you, Connie! I am still learning! Please forgive my weaknesses! I do appreciate your comment. Many entries were blatantly off track. I do not profess to be proficient in poetry. Learning of my own frailties as I go through the process of posting and judging. Again thank you for your critique. xo

You are really funny! Couch potatoes! Love it! Me and my sweet potato watched all 3 of the extended version Lord of the Rings over the past few days! Now that's commitment, wouldn't you say so! :)

I was happy to see your list tonight. Thanks so much, Kim. The last line change to whisky was a suggested rhyme by Richard L!! Glad you liked the last word of my poem. Congrats to all.
