I sent mine in… I’ll have to re-read – do you only email back if pieces are accepted?
Best of luck to all who enter 😀

Hello, Colleen, I sent and email with three Tanka poems on Sunday, I hope it arrived and… all is well 🌻 (there has been no confirmation email just yet, that is why I am letting you know here a bit too). Oh… Nicole Sara here, coming from StarrySteps blog ☺ Thank you, wishing you a nice end of the week! 😊
