What a beautiful piece of art you have painted with your words. Each lovely word drew the reader inside the images you painted in our mind. A trully serene and wonderful job.

Greetings dearest P&Q members,

First off let me say this is a great site, I've learned much and made some good friends. I would like to thank everyone on the site. It is an hoor and a priviledge when I saw my poem on the opening contest page Which I never understood how this works-is it a committee or panel who decides?. Anyway I was flattered, honored.....and horrified!
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the honor, the spotlight. But it is the poem chosen that embarrases me.Any poem but this one! This piece I consider very second rate, though filled with images and metaphors, it still seems too fairy tale like (I was going through a unicorn phase when I wrote this years ago), I just feel this poem nothing special and cannot believe it was chosen over so many deserving superior pieces.
If you really want to check out what I consider my better poems, here is a small list(the astericks* are those I prefer).

Enjoyable but too many and's

This is beautiful. I have grown up with horses and I am a huge fantasy fan, you just completely captured my imagination with this poem. Truly incredible

^ Reborn, I think all of the 'ands' were carefully chosen and help pull the poem together...But you are entitled to your own opinion of course

This sounds so cool, i can just see it in my head, i love it!!

Wow..this deserves to be on the first page as a winning poem. you painted such a clear picture in my head from the words ou used. a very discriptive piece. It feels very mystical. Its like your bringing to life things that do not exist. Bravo!! i hope to hear some of your advic on some of my poems.. keep writting... congrats...
Love Kirsty xx
