Have I Won?
Have I won? Oh have I won?
I can’t contain myself.
Am I this month’s chosen one?
Will I have to give a speech?
On the off-chance, I’ve got one
In my pocket. It’s a peach.
Thankyous for my ma and pa,
(pause to wipe away a tear)
I never sought to be a star.
If you lost out on this award,
Don’t feel disheartened, some say
Talent is its own reward.
Thanks for giving me your vote,
(let voice begin to tremble)
I’m not the sort who likes to gloat.
But I will
You are so funny, Steve. I'm really glad you came on to the site, and decided to stay. It now wouldn't be the same without you.
Brilliant Steve, no tears though if you win.
I'm struggling to choose from a few poems I've picked out. There's been some really good ones,
but I will get it to Isobel before the 6th, and considering the controversey surrounding the 'potm' this month I think everyone should get their reading specs on and participate.

My vote's already in. Found it helpful to make a note as the month progressed as to which ones were my faves so i wouldn't need to trail back to the beginning. I just hope that some of the people who are learned in poetry technique make use of their vote so that whichever one is chosen has had a fair judgement. In theory anyway. :-)
Sorry Steve but i'm not telling which one got my vote. I wish you luck. x
Love this Steve - you are funny. John is right to remind everyone that I cut off at the 6th so I am still waiting for the flood. Have had a few votes but not enough to make it a serious competition yet - everyone seems to be voting for different poems - some I would have seen as rank outsiders - I guess we all have such different taste. I am enjoying it though. Hope the winner doesn't do a Gwyneth Paltrow though - emotions and tears are best reined in - despite the obvious ecstasy of being the chosen one.
Nice one Steve
Cate - sorry to have to tell you that I didn't vote for you, but if there was an 'honourable mention' category, you'd have got mine for Eer Olive's Pumps
Te he he....the oscar approcheth...... its quite fun this... think I know who Im voting for , but Im always open to a bit of persuasion.... say a couple of thou should do it??????
Cate xx
you've got a long time to hold it together, voting doesn't close until the 6th :-)
I think you might have won it Steve. Remember Halle Berry at the Oscars and hold it together won't you.

Daft, but I couldn't resist a little jest before the announcement from Chez Isobel
