I need your help....

 

I have decided to bite the bullet and enter some of my works in The New Zealand Poetry Society 2003 International Poetry Competition.

 

Only problem is... I don't know which ones to submit :unsure:

 

Can anyone please help by declaring a short-list of five (5) of the works I've posted here that they believe have better than a snowball's chance in hell of getting at least a second glance by the Judge (Keri Hulme, Winner of the Booker Prize, 1983 for "The Bone People")

?????

 

Help me.... please, please, pretty please.... :unsure:

Oh my!

 

Congratulations on taking such a big step; in my mind that makes you a winner already.

 

I'll try to make the time this weekend to review your poetry and post something more substantial.

I am very pleased that you have decided to take this step. I think you will be amazed at the reception your writtings have. I really enjoy them I know that....ok though...here are my faves....

 

1. Goodbye to the days

2. Gone

3. Just another day

4. Tornado

5. I will find you

 

6. My Prison (I couldn't leave this one out)

 

Sorry that I have too many there but you have such great work it is hard to narrow it down to just 5. Good luck, hope to see you in a book soon!

Well...

 

For better or worse

I've posted my verse.

My entry is in

let the waiting begin!

But I must find a way to

adequately say thank you

to all who responded

to my plea most despondent.

 

Cheyenne -

your response was so quick!

It gave the others some stick. :lol:

 

Wyvern -

O' He Who is Almost a Dragon,

your response was next in the wagon.

 

Gwaihir -

Elder of All things Wiggly,

your edited list had me all giggly.

 

Peredhil -

Great Polite Ancient

with my work you're most patient.

 

Yes, I know these rhymes are sickly

but hey! This was written quickly

OK?

 

To those who didn't respond....

Your names have been passed to the appropriate authorities...

Expect a visit anytime soon...

*KNOCK KNOCK*

See... What did I tell you? :ph34r:

 

J/k.. LOL You guys all rock so no probs :P
