Didn't win the $1000 for the love letter contest, but I won a Black History Month Contest!


Dear Eve:

I am writing to confirm you as 1 of 2 winners of our first annual Black History Month contest.
I really enjoyed reading your essay. Could you please confirm your mailing address for me so that I may send you your brand new Kodak M1093 IS digital camera.

Thank you,
The Savvy Sista

**********************************

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students.

"Human beings are the only animals that stutter," she says.

A little girl raises her hand. 'I had a kitty-cat who stuttered.'

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

'Well', she began, 'I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!'

'That must've been scary,' said the teacher.

'It sure was,' said the little girl. 'My kitty raised her back, went Sssss, Sssss, Sssss' and before she could say 'Shit!', the Rottweiler ate her!

The teacher had to leave the room!

Thanks Rondall & Carey. I will send it 2 your box. I turned a poem I wrote about Coretta Scott King into an essay. I always do this! Who says POETRY is Dead. Obama brought it back 2 life!


************************************************

If I win this, I win send you my winning poem, peace. Man, I was waiting 4 Sunday, danggit!

Dear Poets,


I wanted to drop you all (signed up for our writing email list) a quick note to let you know of an extended date for the final judging of our Poetry Contest. Earlier this week our university judges realized they had some 120 extra poems they had not yet judged for the contest. Rather than try to rush to make the March 15th date, I've asked them to extend the date to April 13th. I do apologize for the inconvenience, but I thought it appropriate to give ample time to adequately judge the contest.

Thank you for your patience, and go to the Poetry Contest Page on Monday, April 13th to see the $1,000 grand prize winner, and 10 finalists.
