I have found much poetry in a life of flying, teaching and farming. Most of it has been kept within but a few fragments have escaped onto the printed page. When all else is done, only the poetry survives. It is that which defines us.

Ideasaregems-Dawn: I couldn't agree more. :0) Having said that, now what does that say when one reads "Fleas"? (Hahahaha - couldn't resist! Feel free to delete my miserable comment, though I LOVE that poem.) *Grinning hugely*

mountainwriter49: Tony (tfawcus) has won the member sponsored Blank Verse Contest with his resplendent poem entitled "The Dream." Congratulations to Tony for winning the Blue Ribbon in this most challenging contest. Ten poets participated in this contest and presented the most wonderful blank verse poetry I've read in quite some time. The entries included blank verse sonnets, quatrains and epic narratives. All are distinctive, creative and worthy of the winners' circle. Thanks to all who participated and to those in the FanStory community who took the time to read and review all ten entries and participate in the voting. I wold encourage anyone interested in reading superb verse to read the entries. -Ray contest sponsor

emkoutny: I am a teacher also and write as demonstration for my students, but rarely have had the time to keep any of it or revise it. This site gives me a chance to write for my won benefit. What a concept! I enjoy reading you writing and bet you were a wonderful teacher.

Dorothy Farrell: Tony, I never doubted you would win the blank verse poem. Always a joy to read work by a real poet - no drivel or wasted words - superior in every respect. We should all aspire to write as well as you - damn you. To find a typo, all too rare, in your work, I frantically hook on and can't wait to chastise you - just joking (No I'm not) LOL.
