I've been nominated for Poet of the Year for 2003 and I will be formally inducted as an International Poet of Merit and Honored Member of [their] Society for 2003.

Oh my God! Me too! What a small world...
What do you think the odds are that if every single poster on this board sent in a poem, every single one would get this same honor?? (100%?)

But if you think about it, it is a great money making scheme. They need less than 40 people to attend to make the $20,000 grand prize possible, and I bet a whole lot more show up. Plus all the poor schmucks who shell out $60 for the book.
