Six Stars For The Win!

Comment from Joy Graham
This is priceless! Congratulations on achieving a second place in this competition. I somehow missed yours until just now. You make many good points and show the inner workings of my own mind when considering entering a contest lol! I haven't entered a member run contest in a very long time until recently. I entered the fairy tale with a twist contest by accident. I thought Robyn told me she set up a contest so jumped in only to find I made a huge error. To my surprise, I went through all the emotions you listed in this poem and was gobsmacked to win. So, maybe my poetry isn't so bad after all??? It always hurts when I only get one vote which was my own. Woe is me.
Well done, you!
Sincerely Joy xx

Hi Joy!
I am honored by your review! Thank you so much! This is not my usual fare.
True story: I had no idea one could vote for oneself in these contests. The first one I entered this year, I did not even consider voting for myself. If I had, I would have won/shared first place with another writer! Lesson learned...maybe
Thank you again!
And you write wonderful verses!

Aw, Bill...
Much too kind. I did enjoy penning this verse, but it was a bit over the top!
Thank you for your kind review and vote of confidence.

Comment from DragonSkulls
Excellent write, Diane. The only one in the contest that, besides my own, haha, deserved to win. The best line was "I stridently reject the notion that blind competitions are indeed blind." Oh how true those words are. Loved your take on the contest. Have a great rest of your weekend, D.

Hi Ron!
Woah!
Yours was poetic and artistic.
Mine was obnoxious and over the top... maybe... :)
Still recovering from the snafu and drama...
But blind competitions are definitely not blind.
Be well,

Comment from poetwatch
You must have an "in" with the writers of FanStory your writing, shall we say, is very free, interesting, or should I say not Ho-Hum. I like your freestyle. This is a very good entry. Yet, you say you won four member pumps in a row? All I ever got was two. What's your secret?

Hey poetwatch!
I definitely do not have an "in" with any of the writers on FanStory, but I have met some wonderful folks here.
Thank you for your exceptional review of my work; it means a great deal!

Comment from MelB
This is a fun and creative poem and contest entry on FanStory competitions. Nice use of adjectives to describe the anticipation before reviews and the joy after receiving good reviews.

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
This is amazing. We've all been there, right? No, I won't do a contest. It seems the same people win, blah blah blah. But here we go, we enter and we wait. After all you'll never know if you don't try.

Comment from Shawlyn
Hi.
I enjoyed these verses quite a lot. As well as being humorous, It also echoes what others feel about competitions and the waste of time they are; until, that one bit of recognition comes. Well done. Regards and best wishes, Shawlyn.
