The news is that I have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize by Black Bough Poetry for my poem Wisdom, that took second place in the Dai Fry Award for Mystical Poetry.
This is the small poem.
Day grows from green to gold to white
Through dim light we watch
mimosa leaves raining
confetti-coins
wrapped in gold foil
egrets meadow-stalking
stilt-legged and long-beaked
in raiment of monarchs.
Last sun finds the fent
in the cloud-cloak
and dim day swells
into a regal evening.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
Lovely poem, Jane…
Thank you!
This is the best news! Congratulations! 😊
Thank you! Matthew wanted to tell me ‘in person’ yesterday evening but I don’t have any of the apps, or an iphone to get face time, and I was getting supper ready and there’s only wifi here if you’re right next to the router (rooter?) in the study…
Oh, that’s so lovely that he wanted to tell you “in person.” 💙 I’m so pleased for you.
We’re in the technological stone age here, but Matthew lost his wifi connection anyway, so we are not alone!
No, you’re definitely not alone! 🙂
There’s something of pure evil in this invisible technology.
Imagine trying to explain it to people from the past!
I wouldn’t know how!
It’s true, I don’t know the mechanics either. 🙂
Merril, I don’t think it’s ‘mechanics’ these days. That was in the Model T epoch 🙂
I meant mechanics in a general sense as in functional details. 🤣 How about technology? 🙂
Yes, sounds more ‘space age’. I don’t think Henry Ford had technology 🙂
Well, he did, even though he may not have used the term. Every time period has had technology.
Yes, you’re right. Even cave people did. I was being purposely obtuse.:)
😄
Could not have happened to anyone more deserving. I plan on telling the world what great friends we are!
With your approval, of course.
I’d be proud to be considered a friend of yours 🙂
I know a nomination isn’t winning, but to have my name put forward by people who know me, is worth more than an unknown judge’s approval.
It’s well earned, well earned.

Celebrating your every success!
Thank you! Me too. I don’t have many, so they’re all the more special.
Congratulations! It’s beautiful!
