Poetry Fishbowl WIN!

I am delighted to announce that the Poetry Fishbowl has WON the Poetry category of the 2010 Rose and Bay Awards!  *happy dance* *confetti*

Never mind the mainstream ... there are still places where poetry lives.  We had over 132 voters in the Poetry category.

Thank you all for your support.  You're a fine and enthusiastic audience, and I couldn't have done this without you.

YAY!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! It's definitely well deserved.
That's wonderful! And very well-deserved.
I appreciate your support.
* applauds *
Happy news!

One reason I am enjoying the Poetry Fishbowl (and I do apologise for not signal boosting for this month - life is odd ATM) is that I am learning new formats and structures for poetry from you. Which is, is some surprising ways, improving my prose. So a belated Thank You! for traching fun stuff in a pleasant manner.

I appreciate signal boosting whenever it's convenient for folks to do it. Otherwise, it's okay and you will have plenty more opportunities.

Yay! I'm always happy when I get feedback like this, because I love teaching and sharing information. My donor perk-posts are usually about my writing process, some poetic tidbit, or the month's theme.

Yes, writing or reading poetry can improve your prose writing, because poetry is all about deep structure and precise word choice. As long as you don't put too much alliteration or rhyme in your prose, you'll do fine.
Congratulations! Your Poetry Fishbowl Project has been such a great success.

And! Both of the projects I nominated for awards won! I am so pleased. :)
All hail the hobby-editor with the awesomely accurate eye! *bow*

Everyone go read whatever minor_architect is reading.
AWESOME.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Brava!
