Well this happened. I placed THIRD (OMG!) in my category & my experimental poem HOW TO FALL IN LOVE will feature in this gorgeous anthology from @streetcakemag. I can’t wait to get this to see all the other pieces. Thanks @nikkidudley20 & @trinidecombe for your amazing support.

I must thank @AkhtarSascha for taking the time to read the long list for my category, and for finding something in my piece. Her words have overwhelmed me, I’m surprised I managed to get any words out tonight. Thank you Sascha for seeing something in my piece. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> @streetcakemag
