Thanks very much, Jayne. I am considering your suggestions, which are good as always. Please don't lose any of your limbs just to see me win one of these! When Charles Ives won the Pulitzer Prize for his 3rd Symphony, he gave the prize money away, saying "prizes are for boys, and I'm all grown up".
You had rooted for me in the cowboy poem contest and thought I had a good chance with a couple of poems, but it wasn't in the stars that time. Should I keep trying? It feels like repeatedly banging my head against the wall. I'm just kidding; I've actually only entered that one LitRev contest (though I did give it my best shot).
One thing I'm not totally sure about is what to put in the subject box when I e-mail them the poem. I assume it's "On the Beach." Is that correct?
Martin
