Garrison Keillor likes my poem (or at least his people do).
Prairie Home Companion is having a sonnet contest.
Grand prize: a sleep number bed.
They posted my silly submission on their site.

Good submission! Creative. Hopefully you’ll win because the sleep number is a great bed.
Well done! That is just the kind of thing that Garrison loves. Did Karsten enter? His might be a bit more serious.
Congratulations. And that poem is hysterical!
Hey, one of the 13 most eye-catching of 3000 and counting! Well-done.
That was a great poem! And on Garrison Keillor’s site! Wow!
i pretty much peed my pants over this thing.
Congrats my friend!
I have something in common with Garrison Keillor?
Color me impressed.
Obviously, you shaded them, too–bravo on the mention.
I submitted one of mine, VERY different from yours (an affection for BBQ potato chips). Thanks for the head’s up!
:)
Well, it’s definitely above average.
Oh, I hope you win!!! Loved it!
And I LOVE PHC!
Well said, Aber! Well said!
I really loved that poem – I submitted one, then read yours and realized that mine was just doggerel. And then I stumble across it again through word press. it’s a small bloggy world.
OK, so I’m late on this one, but seriously the poem that won was terrible. And I’m rusty on my definitions, but I don’t think it was a sonnet. Just a bunch of couplets. Please. (Sorry to feed any residual bitterness.)
