Nice lines. c:Congrats on being top writer.

[Kent Rawski]

Thanks I like that it's for 1 day and someone new given a chance

[Ted Kniffen]

To paraphrase...it matters not if you win or lose, it's how you play the game.

I believe we put words on a page...not to impress...but because we have no choice.
the compulsion is in us and it needs to get out.

[Kent Rawski]

Yeh I don't write,for money or fame just to tame me, and I'm new and hardly good but I think maybe 1 day I will have a fantastic write that maybe its in me

[Kent Rawski]

I absolutely agree a writers words arent meant to impress but express ffom within what needs to come out

[Gee]

Hmmmm, not scaled those heights to often and don't suppose that will change much in the future :))

[Kent Rawski]

I don't know about what you said there are things in our subconscious mind far more wonderful than we imagine if 1 day tapped

[Kelly Scheppers]

The acknowledgement is nice, but the years I've been here and the friendships I've made are most dear, and much sweeter!

[Kent Rawski]

Well said and truer yet

[Chris Shaw]

Don:t worry, it won:t last that long. You:ll soon be knocked off that pedestal :))

Anyway, good on you and why not enjoy it.

Chris

To be honest, I never look at that page. I never enter contests. I feel that when I go into a "comparison" mode, where I'm pitting myself against other writers, this ruins the spirit of the cafe for me. It changes the way I write, if I pay attention to how "popular" my writing may or may not be. I know that most writers are like you, both interested & also a little bit spoofing the whole idea, too. I'm just saying that I need to insulate myself from this, not becuz it's wrong or bad, but just becuz I'm easily influenced by such stuff & I spent too much time doing life that way (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kent Rawski]

Understood. for the right reasons

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I agree with this comment...Poetry is about the soul of the words, not competition...I never liked poetry contests...all our voices are different, and all of them matter just as much.

My favorite part of Jacob's comment, which is central to how I feel also: "all our voices matter just as much" . . . *smile*

[Lea Sheryn]

I'm happy for you! 😁😁😁

[Kent Rawski]

thanks lea fingers still crossed

[Lea Sheryn]

It's thrilling when you see your name on the top of the list!

[Kent Rawski]

you know that feeling well:)

[Lea Sheryn]

I'm always surprised to see it. :-)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

sometimes i feel this way...like writing for the masses, a popularity contest and selling out...

appreciate the humor in this...and i think for most of us...the process of writing the pieces is more important than the reactions to them...
