Jayne, it's just that sometimes you think you've really nailed it and then you find out it was not to be. Frustrating, I'd say.

It's gotten so bad, I actually welcomed the generic honorable mention my five entries collectively garnered, though I believe it was just pity.

Ah, I DO sympathise, boys - I've been entering the Speccie and Oldie comps for many years. I've notched up quite a lot of wins overall, but I'd hate to work out an average; it would surely depress me.
Trust me, five HMs in the time you've been submitting is GREAT, Bob. We're all pretty good on this site (she says modestly) and anyone could win any week/month. It must be hellish difficult for Lucy and Tessa to choose the winners. Just be glad you're good poets and can even rise to these challenges! Your days will come
