Dear Edward,

After carefully reading and discussing your poem, our Selection Committee gas certified your poem as a semi-finalist in our International Open Poetry Contest.

it says a lot more but I dont feel like typing it, got this in the mail today, also, my poem will be on a full page by itself in an upcoming poetry book called Eternal Portaits

the poem that they are talking about is "But Before You Go, Won't You Stay?"
Im pretty happy about this :D

[Pinkie Pie]

Yay! Good job, Laggy, congrats!

[Dionne]

I was hoping you'd fix that 'after', Laggy. It kinda bugged me. :D

Anywho, congrats! That's awesome.

[Laggy]

just a typo =/

thanks guys, not sure but I think I might have more then just this one poem in the book that will come out in spring

[Dionne]

I know, I know.

I got a letter similar to this in the mail about a month ago. I was supposed to respond and such, but I forgot, so yeah ... No poem of mine in there, but that's okay.

I'm proud of ya, Laggy. You deserve it. :)

[Laggy]

lol, Im going to send my in tomorrow... I like having things in books, my poetry making it into a book makes me real happy, till now all I have had is articles in news papers and a short story once got published lol

[Apistat Commander]

I got a similar letter from them about my poem I had submitted to them. Mine gets its own page in one of their upcoming books, too.

[Laggy]

you can go to poetry.com and go to your poems, then click on "buy the book" or somthing liek that, and it will tell you if its in it or not, and the name of the book

[Wallie Wildo]

good job man hope you win

[Laggy]

I dont really care if I win, its more about the fact that Im in the book. though it may not be hard to get into them, I am happy... would be nice to win money though, lol

Well, at least the International Library of Poetry gives people a chance to be published poets. I have gotten several letters from them for a poem I sent in back in 2003. They had wanted to publish it in Eternal Potraits and Best Poets and Poems of 2003 and had gotten a certificate for Editor's Choice. I didn't like my poem, so I denied permission to publish it. It might have looked like a good poem to them, but I saw mistakes in it in what I was going for.

Anyways, this thread isn't about me, so I have stop going off on tangents.

Good job and congrats.
