Face, those contests are $$$$$$ expensive! I go to compete, to learn if I am a winner. LOL Thousands of poets there. I won in Washington, DC for the book contract, but lost in Vegas.
So the answer would be yes, you are gonna have to wait.
Great piccies, Ms. Feather! LOL!
When are you coming to Vegas again? Do I have to wait for you to win another poetry contest?
