Let's have all votes in by 12 midnight so I can tabulate them and post the winners tomorrow. I'm not voting since I'm sort of a judge, sort of a participant, sort of not fulfilling my own requirement to have critiqued more poems. Let's call it spring fever, and no offense meant to anyone or the poems that have been submitted this month. For the winners, I need your addresses for a place to send your prize. Please send them to this email address: jchorak7441@sbcglobal.net It has been a pleasure to have all that have paricipated to be here. To see Tony and TEW and that audacious Aussie (if only in brilliant glimpses,) MAH, was wonderful.  Our flames are healthy, not ill-intentioned, but rectifying. For we are poets and confront issues, not persons. We are to teach others of this distinction and to example it so that the poetry we write is not evidence of any intention otherwise. People may want to perform under labels or agenda. To be able to reach them, drawing them closer to the community of man is the greatest aspiration any poet can have.  All this is small compensation for not being able to throw a party (had circumstance allowed,) but the thought of being together for one, carries delights anyway.  Now, let's get those votes in. JCH

Hi JCH, Nice to be back here with your inspiring message. Although I may just be messing up here because I have no new submissions yet. (No time for it now.) Hope you allow me to just read poems here and give a little input. Will again write soon. Just too busy at work and need to attend to family right now. For over 3 years that I have not participated here, I am glad that you are still here, the TPL peeps, the coolest playground where I used to hang out before. Thanks, Jordan

My votes are in for March. I love to read your writing, on any topic. You put such a flair and unique point in to all that you say. If you would have a party, you'd have to carry me - ill once again, with a different issue. This getting older plan is not making me happy. I'll be having surgery soon, but will def. be here for April to see how everyone is doing. blessings, enjoy your Spring fever, and I'll try to get rid of my fever. Deni
