First of all, let me say
that I'm very impressed with the folks who showed up with their poems. We
had a great time reading them to the group at the Tavern. They were all so
good, that I'm going to have them all on the site, but I was especially
impressed with Mary Jo's poem that is about, well, me. Luckily I'm a very
secure and thick-skinned person who can take some ribbing (sorry to say that
Mary Jo is no longer in the club....only joking). Steve Graham also came
out of nowhere with a poem he composed on a trip to Ashville. He gets
honorable mention for his efforts along with Karen Gueldner for her concise
haikus. I didn't win anything for mine other than the opportunity to hear
some great thoughts put to words by other people. Congratulations to
everyone. The run wasn't too shabby either, as many PR's fell by the
wayside.
