Did you enter the contest? No, so they couldn't have been yours. First place was a lady from Ohio, and second place was a guy from Arkansas.

favorite stanza so far: 'Why don't they move around by day so I could have more fun at play? It would be nice if they would talk and let me watch them while they walk'

Let me tell you something. I happen to have a copy of the book, so I HAVE seen the other two poems, and in my opinion, yours is better than the other two. A wonderful poem for children! Plus, the book shows that you also took third honorable mention for another poem in the same category!

Thanks, Unnik. Strangely, it got up to number 57 one day, and the next day it disappeared entirely from the list!
