You must remember to EGO-SEARCH - it's surprising what you learn about yourself!

I've just discovered my poem 'Left Field' appeared on THE PLOUGH PRIZE Poetry Competition 2007 - Short Category (up to 10 lines) Long List 2 Short (71 poems), judedged by the poet UK Laureate Andrew Motion.

A total of 1632 poems from all over the world were entered in the Open section and 780 in the Short, so I feel pretty good about getting on the Long List. 

I didn't enter 2008 but this year, I will and want to be a finalist.
