So, I feel embarassed: it took copperwise practically hitting me over the head to realize that I'd won first   third* place in this nifty little contest. The other two poems are really good, so worth a look. But it's nice to see that, in another "blind" contest, my poem still has enough street-smarts to rise through the crowd. Always makes *me* feel better about *my* writing...^_^

*Sub-conscious slip... I totally blame being distracted by my mad cursh, okay?!
