~Accolades Of Poets~ Words describe the emotions, inspiration grants them rhyme. Poets offer prose... shared wisdom of all time. Blessed with the gift of expression, changing emotions into lyric and verse. Searching deep inside their souls- hearing voices, those moments when angels converse. Like symphonies of heartstrings... turning words into the beauty of song. Like an artist painting images, their vision of life's reasons ... teach us to be strong. Their words touch and heal, allowing us to dream, we embrace and applaud them, grateful for their grace. We honor and award them for many years to come, Poets of words and wisdom-held classic-in their rightful place. Janet Marie **repost from open forum #5... I hope no one minds my sharing this poem again... I wanted to tell you guys my good news... I won a poerty contest with this one..my first win!!! It made me enough money to pay for a weeks worth of groceries..LOL...what more could I ask for...fame and fortune and FOOD...lol :{ OH WELL, later gators (and dragons!)  take care, janet marie |

WOW! I see why this piece won! It's INCREDIBLE!! Amazing job you did here, Janet! Wow...! Uh, how do you enter a poetry contest, anyway? Do you think I have a chance at winning one? Little Spyro T. Dragon P.S. Yeah, "and dragons" hehe  By the way, the closest thing the Chinese have to a real dragon is the Chinese alligator--there are less than 150 of them left!! They're hanging over the great abyss of extinction...sigh...I'd be losing a whole family of relatives!!  I really hope they'll make it okay...[This message has been edited by Little_Spyro (edited 02-20-2000).] |

Congradulations! I can see why it won, this was my first reading of it, and as I was reading it I was thinking this is a real keeper, this should be in a book somewhere, and low and behold, you say you won a contest with it. That is really great. I am happy for you! |

Jan, first of all congrads on the win. The rest of the world is finally waking up to your genius. Beautiful poem filled with your usual well crafted wisdom. "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else" faster-Manic street preachers. |
