POem of the Month - November 2018
Polished Mirror
Emotional reaction
visceral
confrontation
Electing calmly
to disengage
Her rage
not my burden
Pain she bears
unknown to me
not my place
to judge
that which I cannot see
Knowing not
her path
nor where
her travels led
alternatively
I offer
prayers for her instead
I shall shoulder
no resentment
heart open
mind free
as I know her actions
had nil to do with me

If possible, can we remove my actual picture from the Facebook group for my winning entry, “Morendo” — I had no idea my picture would be posted on Facebook and identity would be compromised! Thanks!

I'm sorry your privacy was infringed. We had something like this happen when I was involved and thought it had been decided we were to notify the recipient to ensure they were okay with social networking distribution. Entering comps is one thing; that implies consent. However, being nominated without knowledge is another.
I've notified Webmiss via your message. We should all be more careful regarding privacy concerns of the recipients we nominate.
