I would like to nominate Kitchen Contemplations by Robin Dewalt (Merle) for its skillful use of poetic techniques and ability to show and not tell the story. The poem allows the reader to mull and anazlyze the subject from their own perspective.
Kitchen Contemplations by Robin Cherry-DeWalt The spaghetti pot talks while her fingers walk on windowpanes of steam. Perhaps one day she won't just pray and wake outside her dream. Take a trip to France learn the language dance bonjour and s'il vous plait. Or Italy where love is free and passions never sway. She warms the bread when she hears his tread of boot on wooden stair. Prepares his drink in a routine blink and touches up her hair. ·······  ·······Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings.

Yes, and you'll have an 'award mini-plaque' in your signature too (this weekend when I do my updates).

Hi Robin - Congratulations on your award! You have one of the most original voices of all the poets I have read on poetry forums; so very human, and yet - so keenly observant.
