The International Society of Poets sent me a bronze medal. I won third place in the monthly online contest for the poem I posted on poetry.com, "My Microwave." That's nice, but it would have been even nicer if I had gotten a little money with it.
Once again, here is the award-winning poem, "My Microwave":
My microwave helps my cooking achieve simplicity
I don't see complicated recipes on my horizon.
I choose my frozen dinners by their ambience.
Otherwise, I could only approach my cooking with courage.
The garlic salt and ketchup I use have such fortitude
That my digestion must occur with a sense of faithfulness

Oh, you have a creative mind! Qualifying for a competition hosted by the International Society of Poets is already an achievement, moreso winning an award. Well, your bronze medal will be a lasting part of your legacy. Continue writing! Cheers!
