Hey that sounds like my daily work day.
Such a Sisyphean tragedy...I never get to use the word Sisyphean, so thanks for that opportunity.
If I don't enter it's because the pen is dry and the inkwell is empty. Not that the well ever had more than a smattering of half-dried ink.

Sonnet
Mine is a prewritten poem but it has no ID, no link anywhere. "Cannot find." It sits in my author page however. -
Hi Margaret can you give me until Sunday night as this week has been bestial, many thanks, Di

Hi Di, I can never figure out contest closing times, it seems to depend on the hour of midnight in California, or something. The contest was dated for Monday, June 11. I can extend the contest one extra day, but people will have to be punctual with their votes so that the next contest can be posted June 15.

Sorry Di, you ran out of time. Good luck in the other contests!

Hi Terry, no problem. Just send your vote in an IM to http://allpoetry.com/huguenauties
I hope this link will let you do that, but if not, use the one at the top of this page.
I should be able to post the results tomorrow.

Congratulations to Petratani and the other winners and thanks to all loyal Huguenauties who entered this contest #13. Special thanks to MargaretG for her efficient hosting and excellent choice of subject.
Their Majesties were saddened to notice that certain favourites, who entered numerous other contests during the period of this one, were too busy to submit an entry in ours.
Love and hugs to all, XXX Hugh (R.) -
