Poets, thanks for the entries. I will forward on to a set of judges, who will select their choices. Then I will tabulate the numbers. May take a few days, depending on whether folks are in town, etc. It is spring break in many parts of the country, so there may be a few days before the responses come back.

3 judges from 3 different forums selected their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices and the results are:



1st Place ----- King of Shallot



2nd Place ----- amourningglory



3rd Place ----- Andrew


A big, fat Congrats to all. Thanks to every entrant.
I will contact each regarding the gift cards.

First, thank you for allowing me to participate.
Also, after reading the entries, I am astounded
that I came in second. I am excited and very
appreciative.

As far as first place. I believe that was Christian's.
An excellent write indeed and most deserving to win
as was Andrew's surely to be considered up in the ranks.

There were also a number of other very very good
writes that I really thought had potential.

Congrats to Christian and Andrew, and good job
to the other participants.

Yes, congratulations. But at least my emoticon is better than yours.

It would have been better if there had of been more entries though...

yes, on more entries


but, no, on this...

But at least my emoticon is better than yours.

lol

Many congratulations to King of Shallot, amourningglory, and Andrew. Excellent work, all of you.

Chris

oh congrats -- there were so many interesting views of the looker on fulton street --

congratulations to all the winners.

One of my neighbors started feeding a grizzled, stray cat a few months ago. She has taken it to the vet and had it spayed and given minor medical attention. The cat is now her pet, although it remains outdoors where it is most happy. In the beginning the cat would leave a bird, mouse or other small catch at the front door. My neighbor was pleased that the cat was showing some sign of gratitude. Her comment to me was, "I know in its silence the cat is giving me thanks in return for what I have done. I only wish she could speak my language, because a simple 'Thank you' would be not only sufficient, but the most satisfying result I could hope for."


Well spoken neighbor, very well spoken, indeed. If only I could have that cat, and those small tokens, it would be a vast improvement over nothing at all.
