Congrats to the winner and all the people who placed, but (I'm showing my colors here) to Cally, my good mate and a crafter of verse whom I always enjoy reading.

And of course thanks to Alex, the judges, readers and Annie for her hard work. It's nice that a another poet who I admire liked the poem.

Best,

RobW

Rob and Arrow -- the generosity of your cheers for me is all the winning that matters. (In my secret heart, it's not winning I want at all, it's the poems wanting readers).

Thank you, both. You've always been unfailing supporters of my work! So one day, Arrow, may the wild rumpus begin!!

Cally

Congratulations! I look forward to reading these.

Thanks, Susan. I look forward to your responses.
