Congratulations to all!

Congratulations to all and what a cracker of a poem Catherine Lee-beautifully crafted and so deserving.

Thank you so much Sue for these lovely words, which I so much appreciate! ...And congratulations once again from me to Tom and Shelley!

Congratulations Catherine

Also to all the other winners; I tried the shotgun approach on this one, looks like I need to improve my aim a bit.

Cheers

Terry

Thank you Terry! x

Congratulations to all - Especially to Catherine. Wow ! You certainly set the bar very high for we fellow poets to aspire.
However we (I am sure) will keep on trying

Cheers Val Wallace

Oh I don’t know, Terry - I think you’ve made a pretty fair shot of it!

Goodness, what a compliment - thank you very much, Val! As you can imagine, I am absolutely delighted that my efforts on this poem were rewarded! The challenge of these competitions is very tough, but definitely enjoyable and I think good for us all xx

Gorgeous poem Catherine Lee. A well deserved win.

Thank you so much, Glenny xx
