As a poet, and an avid reader, I have to say that I very much enjoyed my leisurely stroll through your blog...it was time well spent; entertaining and enlightening. I thank you...

Hi Steven. After discovering that my poem, "Cipher," was selected as a finalist in the 2006 Eleventh Muse Poetry Contest I sent a couple of poorly worded e-mails to the submissions URL on the Poetry Now website. I wanted to thank you again for selecting my poem as a finalist and I hope that my e-mails (composed in a state of extreme excitation) do not cast me in a negative light. I also wanted to inform you of my own poetry blog. You can visit it here if you'd like:

I would love for it to (someday) make it on your list of poetry blogs.

Thanks again Steven.

Best,
Jordan Reynolds
