Not in the running, just honourable mention

By matangmanok

My poem “Village Potter’s Wife” nearly got selected as a finalist in the latest Goodreads poetry competition. Nearly. Well there’s next time.

    Village Potter’s Wife is one of my favorite poems of yours, JIm. You treat her thankless life with such compassion. The first time I read it I copied it to my favorites folder. Wish I’d had a chance to vote for it on Goodreads.
