    Great job Poets!

    The Gold was easy to choose.....the other top 5 were real hard to place...especially Silver and Bronze.....but the HM's gave me a hard time as well......oh well.....the task of a Judge...hehe ~

    Thank you all for coming out and supporting the Formed Poetry Series ~

    I am thrilled to have met Susie, aka, azure85, two years ago, as she is the reason this series and my love for poetry in form continues to grow ~

    I am still learning the proper do's and don't's in certain forms with her around, so thanks Susie.....you've made the last two years a blast for me....and I will continue to learn from you ~

    Thanks Poets.....and I know of someone here who is having a Baby!!!!!!!

    I got to see the little cub in his perfectly heated water basket....hehe ~

    God bless you all,

    Bear ~

      thanks you for stopping by,
