I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT EVERY SINGLE POEM I WRITE CAN BE AWARD WINNER ! THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF POETS ALWAYS SENDS ME IMFO ON WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR MY POEM! BUT IT ALWAYS COSTS ME MONEY ! I FEEL IF MY POEM WAS SO DARN GOOD WHY WOULDN T I JUST GET THE AWARD FREE OF ANY KIND OF CHARGE ? I ALSO NOTICED THAT GOING OUT TO LAS VAGUS COST A ARM AND A LEG FOR THE ROOM AND TO ATTEND THEIR LARGE GATHERING. I DIDN T ATTEND THE GATHERING IN LAS VAGUS. I THOUGHT THE MONEY WANTED WAS A LITTLE TO FAR OUTRAGEOUS FOR THEIR EVENT THAT WAS GOING ON !! I WHO WAS TOLD THAT I WAS IN THE RUNNING TO BE POET OF THE YEAR HAD TO PAY A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY JUST TO SEE IF I HAD WON ??? SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE WHOLE IDEA !!! WHY WOULD IT COST SO DARN MUCH IF IT WAS FOR REAL? WHY CAN T I WIN MONEY AWARDS WITHOUT BEING IN LAS VAGUS ? I AM SHORE THAT THE MONEY WON WOULDN T COVER THE ATTIRE TRIP OR MONEY SPENT TO GET THERE FOR THE GATHERING. OR MONEY SPENT ON AWARDS THEY FEEL WE ALL SHOULD PURCHASE RIGHT AWAY !!! I DID PURCHASE A FEW ITEMS. THEY WERE VERY GOOD LOOKING AWARDS TO HANG ON MY WALL IN MY OFFICE. BUT, THEY ALWAYS WANT MORE AND MORE MONEY ALL THE TIME. IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF POETS WAS FOR REAL !!! BUT, CAN IT BE ????
