dilema...
Ok, so I am cleaning my house in the morning and found a letter form the people at poetry.com, you submit poems and all that stuff, well this poem I did like a year ago was in there but well I havent opened it yet. The thing is that later when I open my emails, I found this email from poetry.com, Ill quote a part:
Dear Victoria,
Over the past several months, we have been reviewing the thousands of poems submitted to us, as well as examining the poetic accomplishments of people whose poetry has appeared on the Internet and in various editions released by other poetry publishers in America and Europe. After an exhaustive examination of this poetic artistry, The International Library of Poetry is pleased to inform you that you have been nominated for inclusion in ...

You are automatically eligible to win, but you must submit your biographical information and a new unpublished poem on the enclosed entry form. Prizes will be announced June 30, with an anticipated publication date of August 2004.
Now, they have reviewed all my work, that means like five poems...
only five poems...
and those were written a year or more ago, and I havent written since or found any inspiration...
and now I have to write a new poem...
I really dont know if I should do it...
but on the bright side, I can email the form; you see, they snail mail some poems for their inclusion in books, but I always seem to run off time and never sent then when due. Now I can, but Im still no sure...
