    Pepped me up all through the month of December. Joined the forum. Entered two submissions to the Contest. Submitted 81 poems on all sorts of topics; faith, nature, community, personal milestones, the many influences of music.

    Congratulations to all the winners!! This was another one of those tough months to select just one winning poem out of all the brilliance displayed here. AND...even though my own submission was an apparent 'dud'...I think the choices people made while judging were excellent! See you all next time :)!!

    I don't know if Nominee means that I have passed a hurdle or just accepted. I hope I am in the running. There is some challenging competition. Good luck!

      Hope you had an amazing Christmas as well. I look forward to read your new writings everytime I visit this page.

      P.S.
      Still not yet over about the imagery that your poem "I Was Just a Pawn" left in my head. Your use of words created such excellent visuals in my imagination.

      Thank you very much Francelle. You have a strong talent for creating imagery as well as touching the soul. I'm looking forward to reading your entries now, and in the future. Best of luck to you.

      Hi there, I've been reading Robin Loving's (lovingempath) poems from time to time. And yup, no doubt that I'll agree with you. Her poems are truly beautiful.

      P.S.
      Welcome to the community. Hope you'll feel the warm embrace in here that would encourage you to keep on writing.

    I am really excited to be putting my creative spirit into this site again. I was very into this site in the 90s. Unfortunately, none of my work has been kept from that time frame.. soooo. Here I am to resubmit and see if they still have what it takes
