    Oh, why not...I'll enter. I just wrote up a new, non-haiku piece, may as well give it the go-through.
    Can I enter this one if I have never been in any of your contests?

    You are going to be one very busy Welsh girl Leanne. There is so much 'good stuff' out there I reckon you will be inundated with entries.
    Good Luck with the judging - you're going to need it.

    I am sending one of my favorite, most poignant pieces into your contest to be slaughtered. I took three days hashing it out, and to my knowledge I have never entered one of your contests, so I am taking my chances. (holds her breath)

    Have fun judging--it's a good thing you put a cap on this, or it looks like you would be forever I still have yet to judge a contest that just closed on me yesterday. Take care.

    Many blessings,
