I was literally shocked that I won the Writers Offering Our Finest contest for May 22nd, I was up against 7 other poetry submissions and 5 prose submissions.  The poem that won happened to be written on my blackberry while on a drive to a concert, I often write poetry while on long car rides or when bored.  Congratulations to the other winners this week.
