To my delight and amazement, I won the $5000
Leacock Award for Poetry. As an added bonus,
I won 2nd prize in the Leacock Limerick contest for
another $500. Think I'll retire!
The Victoria Writers' Association picked my poem
for 1st prize in their contest! So nice.
Whoop and whoopeeee! Won second prize in
the Arc Poetry Mag. 10th Annual Poem of the
Year contest! One of my "Weird" poems.
Judge Mildred Tremblay. Thank you so much.
Won 3rd prize in Prairie Fire's Bliss Carmen
Award. Thank you, judge Don McKay.
Spring has finally arrived. There is sunshine but it's
still not warm in Vancouver for this time of year.
Still biking every day that it doesn't rain and
sometimes when it does. Many of the trees on my
street are fully leafed out and there are still lots of
blossoming ones. Mountains are beautiful as
always.
Joy in the morning! Letter from Lawrence House
Ctr for the Arts. Story from my novel "Naked in a
Glass-Blue Lake" won 2nd prize!
Very happy my acrostic story "Satin Blue" took 2nd
prize.
Went to see the painting of my poem,
"Splendor in the Corner" at the Poets and
Painters Exhibition at the Tsawwassen
Longhouse Gallery. It was fun meeting
Monica, the talented artist who did mine.
