What fun this contest was - I am honored by my placement, and humbled to be on a list with such amazing poets - congrats to all who placed, and all those wonderful poems that didn't - I know how hard it is to whittle that great work down to ten ... nearly impossible, as there is so much talent here! Thank you so much! :-) <3
