    Wow, if you keep making contests like these, I'm going to end up entering all of my poems in over and over again. What's more, I feel like you're making these contests faster than I can come up with new writes

    Are you really okay with reading the same poems over and over?

    I thought I was crazy when it came to contest ideas; will give you plenty of credit and the guts to take on such a gigantic project. Normally I wish everyone good luck in the contest, but this time I wish the host even more luck in this contest.
