    WOW! Thank you all very much, for this honor. After spending several days in sensory overload shutdown (S.O.S.), trying to sort through the brilliance displayed here...I really didn't think for a minute that I'd come out on top! I want to assure everyone that this windfall of money will be well spent on trying to salvage Christmas for a few kids who really need it this year, The 'honor' part I'll keep in my heart; and share that with little 'Twiggy' :).

    Where to start. My mind is burning with the thoughts that these poems bring to mind. Such diversity, so much meaning and inspiration in all or in any of them that I have been able to read. Although I have not been able to read them all, it pleases me to know that all who have entered have confirmed to me that there are such gifted people who can bring their mind and soul together to create such beautiful verse with "thier words". Be blessed and good luck!
