'It's cute and touching. such an interesting blend! ' - Thank You for this comment, @Sky Welch.
Feelings expressed so nicely in verse.......how deftly you have used rhymes that's not so easy for such type of subject matter.
'how deftly you have used rhymes that's not so easy for such type of subject matter.' - Your appreciation has inspired me very much. Thank you, Yasmin Khan.
How sweet, Mr. Ahsan! I have long put off reading the poem, and even longer have I put off commenting on it. Anyways, I loved everything; the rhythm, the rhyming... everything! And perhaps you already know why. ;) A ten from me! Cassie
@ Patricia Grantham, I am deeply touched by your comments on my poem. I quite agree with your thoughtful observation-'that we all have won a prize in our own way.' Thanks for taking time to read my poem and make such beautiful comment.
Voters believed in you and your poem, congrats, more poems, more thoughts, mire inspirations to come.
@ Rekha Mandagere, Thank you very much for your comments. This was written in a lighter vein, to give a rundown of the contest, and also to acknowledge the appreciation and support from so many unknown friends.
Good and very good Khairul. You have put the icing on the cake with this write. A very detailed and excellent briefing of the PH Poets contest. I believed that I have read your poem Pristine Love. If not I will take a look at it. Must have been worthy of votes to have made the top ten. I believe that we all have won a prize in our own way. Ultimately it is the readers and visitors that wins and that is our main concern that they receive something from the poems. Be it courage, wisdom, honor, love, peace, grace, inspiration, friendship, the list go on and on. Well done my friend.
Brilliant analysis of the poetry contest can be seen here: -)
@marvin brato, Thanks Marvin, your kind words truly have inspired me.
@A Reynolds, Thank you very much for the kind appreciation. Now I know that 'Pristine Love' got popular, as more than 60 people read the poem during the last ten days of the contest, on an average.
@Sandra Feldman, Thanks a lot for the appreciation. I am honored by your observation.
@Beach Girl, Thanks for reading my poem and sharing your thoughts. You missed the honors by the narrowest margin, that's just bad luck. My position is 10th, not 7th. (Oh yes,7th among the awardless ones!)
Congratulations sir, you deserved the accolade as among the best top ten!
A truly gracious form to recapitulate your contest experience and thank those closely involved. Very Nice, and congratulations for your honorable place. S
What a great poem Mr. Ahsan! It perfectly reflects my and others feelings also about the contest. As one voted to be among the best hundred, My heart swelled as I was truly astounded and also one of the top ten looks a bit distinguished Lol, I had to laugh at those lines, as I think we all felt that way. Congratulations on placing 7th! Your poem was truly beautiful!
@Naida Nepascua Supnet Thanks for reading my poem and leaving your kind comments here. 'congrats, more poems, more thoughts, mire inspirations to come.' - Thanks for this priceless inspiration!
