Thanks, everyone!

[Jean L. Kreiling]

Well done, Martin! Congratulations!

[Janice D. Soderling]

Haven't you scored here before, Martin?

I seem to remember that you have. Big congrats for this year's achievement.

[Martin Elster]

Thanks, Jean and Janice!

Janice - No, this was the first time I participated in this competition. I never knew about it till this year. Since it was free to enter, I figured I might as well. I’m sure glad I did!

Best,
Martin

Excellent! Congrats, Martin!
It's very cool that Rhymezone has a contest!

Oh, I was confusing it with the Rhysling award. No matter, well done in both instances.

[Martin Elster]

Thanks, Rick!

And thanks again, Janice. Regarding the Rhysling award, I have been twice nominated, and two of my poems have appeared in the anthology. (I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this year’s award, though the chances are slim.) I did, however, manage to get a couple of prizes in the Science Fiction Poetry Association’s annual contest.

I usually stay clear of those with a huge entry fee. I’ve been lucky, though, with some of these freebies!
