Yes, I'm gonna whine a bit. As most of you know I did this PAD Challenge (poetry a day challenge) back in April. I, who has never really considered myself a poet, entered this contest. And just today the guy finally writes who the winner is...and it's not me. :)
But here's the part that confuses me...the woman that did win, is a friend of the man running the contest? She did some poem screening in the beginning of the challenge or something. So, I dunno...that seems kinda like...cheating...but not really? And of course, no one is gonna say on the site...dude, if she's your best bud, of course she's gonna win. Everyone else is like Oh yeah she's great. And I haven't read her work, but I'm sure it's great. Maybe she's the greatest poet since...whoever your favorite poet is.
It just seems a little odd, that she's his bud and a participant in the screening of the poems that are making the cut?? I don't understand.
