Humorous poem contest

Blog Posted:7/9/2023 8:17:00 AM

This contest is closed now. We had quality entries in the contest. Ranking the poems was a difficult task. I liked them all, but the placements were limited. I congratulate alm of you in joining me. Those who did not get into winner list, please try in my next contest. Thank you all.

hosting a contest is not easy and its a steep learning curve, so Im sad they did that on so many levels Jay, as they must be on line i hope they find the time to reply to soup mails Ive sent them recently. hugs jan xx

I see what you're saying. They removed you from 1st place. That's too bad because it gave many of us 'better humored' poets something to laugh about. We're all human, Jay. I appreciate you for wanting to make things right, but I was fine with your original rankings.

Jay, your contest rankings should stand as you put them. I find no fault with you, and many of us appreciate you for holding a contest so soon after joining. You are charming and humble. Hugs.

Jay, I have never seen this happen before, a nice trophy placement and poem, well done. Thanks for adding a little fun spice to the soup! Jay, thank you for updating the winners list of your contest. Sponsoring a contest can be a little confusing and challenging at first. I agree with Lin, you are humble and it is appreaciated.

Dear Jay, Please know that none of us are making fun of you, we're just finding the humor in your contest results. You and I have a mutual respect for each other and our poetry, so please don't take offense at any comments we're making on your blog. Hugs, my new friend.

It's the funniest thing I've seen on soup all week Lin - no PS rule says the sponsor can't enter and give themselves a top spot lol, at least he didn't give himself an HM! Good on you Jay I applaud you !!! we need more humour on soup!

I'm actually laughing out loud... Jay, did you give yourself 1st place in your contest? If so, I'll keep laughing at your humor and say, "Why the heck not?" This may be a first.

Jan Allison
Date: 7/9/2023 10:59:00 AM

Lin Lane
