In a recent Worth1000 contest, I entered several rhyming lines about fall(per the contest guidelines) and while I didn't come in last place, I didn't come in first either--you can read the drivel here ( I'm not a huge fan of formalized poetry, but I had some credits to burn and an itchy pen)
The point is, though I didn't score even close to the top (8th, 10th, 11th and 28th out of 29 entries) I feel validated because I've been chosen... not by the Jury (though some of my entries did receive their pat on the back-yay!) but by other contestants in a recent, neighboring photo contest.
The idea was to choose a poem from the poetry contest and capture it in a photo... I received an email notifying me that someone planned to use one of mine :)
But that's not all...
When I went to see his work, I found that others had chosen me too . . .
It was a nice surprise and a little kick of self esteem after bombing the text contest.

Good Luck, Ya'll (whoever you are)- and thanks for picking me!
