International Poetry Contest

The International online poetry contest by Poetry Universe 

I was a participant in this major international poetry contest. This is my first participation in an international poetry contest. There is only one winner! Last night the announcement came.  The Poet Janeatte Nel Le Roux from Mossel Bay, Western Cape, is the winner. She won  the title 'Emperess Universe'. 

One of the happiest moments of me is that the American poet and the, manager of Poetry Universe Thaddeus Hutyra, who conducted the contest, officially congratulated me. He officially wrote to me "Congratulation to you. Many great poems”.
 
The American poet Nikki Naparst sent message to me “Hey poet your stuff is fn. Amazing". She officially commented- " Thanks for the morning prayers [about one poem of me] But you are soo lite, Mr. Dr. K K Man.  Let us play words together too soon yes? You Indians, such poetry! I must come there with love hand in hand. How y' all can write in dual languages, with diverse symbol systems. OMG will I ever language as have you".
 
She officially wrote about one of my poems-" Hmmn, interesting meditation; way more poetic than mine." Dr. Matthew Isaac, the literary genius, the former Associate Vice Chancellor in California and my fb friend, wrote to me after evaluating my performance in the contest, in comparison to that of others-  " Your poems have forms and style. You stand a great chance to win. You have a wide variety. You have versatility! 
 
You are an original and a great poet! Let us keep our fingers crossed! May I say this? Let not this competition define your poetic prowness! I wish you the best. I hope,you will win. Even if you did not win, you are still a great poet". The great ctitic and my fb friend, Professor Lalithabai Shanthakumar, after evaluating my performance in the contest in comparison to that of others, wrote to me- " Your  poems are much superior to that of others. May you win".
 
I share my immense pleasure with you, dear friends, because you are a source of inspiration to me!
