I receive this letter in the mail today. It's pretty cool, let me share with you the first paragraph.
**********************************
Dear Michael (yes, that's my real name),
After carefully reading and discussing your poem, our Selection Committee has certified your poem as a semi-finalist in our International Open Poetry Contest. Your poem will automatically be entered into the final competition held in December 2003. As a semi-finalist, you now have an excellent chance of winning one of 104 cash or gift prizes--including the $1,000 Grand Prize. You may even win the $10,000 Annual Grand Prize! We wish you the best of luck as your compete for these prizes in the coming weeks.
**********************************
That came from the Internation Library of Poetry www.poetry.com. And I guess it will be published in their upcoming collection called "Eternal Portraits."
And to think, before this, and seeing Rae's set, my day was gonna suck totally.
