Welcome to Round Two
of the
Sensual Challenge
First please allow me to apologize for the long wait in completing
the first round. I have had an unfortunate strong of personal
happenings that has kept my mind from being able to
focus on this. With that I did not think if fair to
all of you to do a poor job in giving your
work the attention it rightfully
deserves. I was given 100%
and that is what I wished
to give back to you
in return.
With that said shall we move onward?
We entered this challenge with thirteen poets
and at the end of round one we were to
say good bye to one of those poets,
however, we will instead be
bidding farewell to four.
All four have also had much happening
in their personal lives that has kept
them from completing their first
round and this understand.
All are welcome back to
join another challenge
down the line.
The four leaving us are:
Bedroom Eyes
Dalaney
Mad Moon
Poetryality
We wish you all the best and do hope all things
get increasingly better for each of you.
We look forward to reading more of
your works in the future and
shall see you all about
within the group.
