If I still can, I’ll vote for Gadarene as well. I really liked _Roman Roads_. ---

Most of these are pretty good! How come you guys aren’t submitting these for the e-zine? 🙂 ---

Eutychus, there are about 80 more poems where Live Forever came from but I don’t expect that I will submit any to the e-zine. I’d love to, but I’m far too shy with my work. I’m very surprised I even submitted one to this thread. Anyway, I believe it would be extremely something or other to vote for my own poem, so I’ll cast my vote for Gadarene. ---

Your OP announcing the contest at least deserves honorable mention. ---

That’s really cool. 🙂 **slythe** , what are my duties? Do I get an office? Is it all right if I don’t speak in doggerel? _grin_ Can I ask what it was that people liked about my poem? I’m curious. (Special thanks to **Spider Woman** for being really, really nice.) ---
