Thanks, Max; an enlightened scheme, I thought. So I read the poems, kept my
finger ready to click with a vote, kept reading, reading, reading, and found
m'sel' done with the poems---and not a single urge to vote for one!
Maybe next year the judges'll have read and proposed petc poets. <sigh>
Best,
Judy
