Please join me in congratulating the Sept. contest winner. A new member named samary. here is her poem:
Amazon dispossessed (climate change)
Submitted by samary
The loud tonk tonk of the bell bird
sounds like a hammer hitting an anvil,
today it feels like a warning klaxon
rather than the obnoxiously loud call
of a male calling for a mate.

Ah! The month of falling leaves has arrived at last!. So let's write about what this month means to you. Check out the parameters under the "contest" tab and get those pens moving......stan

Please join me in congratulating B9Pat for winning the August contest for her poem "Worthwhile". Her is her winning entry:

Worthwhile
Remember me
When you go to bed
With thoughts of me
Running through your head
Think back to the day
When we were wed
So many things left unsaid
While looking back try to smile
Wasn't it all worthwhile
Wasn't it all worthwhile

"My Girl"

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May

I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

The July contest has been extended until Aug. 7th. We will run a quickie contest for August

Good ol' summer time! This month we're going to write about our most pleasurable July experience. See contest parameters and don't forget to put (July Contest) next to title and remember to hit contest tab at bottom when entering......Now I gotta sift through the many pleasures I've enjoyed in July......stan

Please join me in recognizing Mark for winning the June contest. Here is the poem which inspired him and the poem Mark wrote as a result :
When I Am Asked
By: Lisel Mueller

When I am asked
how I began writing poems,
I talk about the indifference of nature.

It was soon after my mother died,
a brilliant June day,
everything blooming.

please join me in giving congratulations to the May contest winner. The contest was so difficult to judge there is also an Honorable mention this month. Here are the poems:
