I read through all the entries and found 5 I thought much better than mine. But still I was very happy to win regardless. Maybe if I keep playing and in 6 months win again it will be because you have chosen my entry to be good. I just will not try to play on weekends and Holidays. I love the poetry in motion and played years ago but never won. I am happy I won, Thanks.

I'd been entering the contest daily for about a month. My submission time had settled down to a particular two hour window on most mornings, when I missed a couple of days. I would have won that second day, had I submitted anything, so I went back to submitting something daily. It's been fun, and my skill at using your words and pieces to write something at least halfway sensible has improved with practice. On the day of my winning entry, the word selection seemed to have a Sci Fi theme, so that's the reason for the whimsical verse.
