Shelley said...: Sarah, that's terrific news! Wow! And a great poem to carry around in my head today. I scrolled down to read the poem BEFORE the commentary, which is how it should be, I think.

Bob Hoeppner said...: Yes, Sarah, I think I remember having seen your poem before. It deserves the good attention it got (and did not deserve the obtuseness over the convex glass.); 6/21/06, 4:21 PM
SarahJane said...: Thanks folks.
Unfortunately Blogger seems to have decided it isn't a day for to "create new post"s, so I can't update my quizzes today. Whatever.

Thanks for the congrats on my poem. In fact the part Judge Judy mentioned about being a little off - the convex glass - had been revised months ago. That's the thing with IBPC --> most of the entries are fresh-baked poems.

Anyways, merci!; 6/21/06, 5:45 PM

C. E. Chaffin said...: Dear Sarah,

So glad to hear of your success.

You make me proud.

I never even got an honorable mention in the IBPC despite several nominations.

I always do badly in contests, it seems, Desert Moon and Writer's Digest being the only exceptions.

Let me know if ou want to trade links.

Thine,
