Good luck to everyone entering

Ahh I'm sorry about that, seriously. I had entered it while half asleep last night apparently. I'll re-enter with a different piece.

I know of no way ...
to know if a poem has won a trophy or not. Therefore, I guess I will pass on this one. I am far too ill to look at 459 poems individually to see if they have or have not won a trophy ... particularly since most of them have.
Good luck with the contest anyway. -
Congratulations to all!
This was a fun contest and I hope you had as much fun hostessing!
Be blessed! -
thank you for the HM.
