Sounds interesting but I'm way behind in reviewing and am probably too late to enter the contest. So I'll pass on this one. Evi

Congratulations on your contest win, Bob.
Sorry that I haven't been around for a while. I was hoping to read more of your prose, but this was all I found.
Are you writing another Cleve novel?
He's got to have another story to tell.

Hi, Ellen. I miss you! You must not be a fan anymore or something. I have posted eight chapters of a revived "Faslling Up The Stairs." I would advise reading it even if you don't review each one because the book is being changed drastically by moi before I take it to a publisher for my third book. It is not a Cleve novel.

However, My second Cleve Hawkins novel "Triple Crossed (now disabled) will be released in June of this year. Stand by and stay tuned if you have time. Again, I miss you. Hurry back. Bob

I'm still a fan; just haven't been on site. I've been editing. I'd love to publish, but it's getting to be too much. It wears me out and is very frustrating.
I'll catch up on your rewrite soon. I remember reading the last of it when you were posting the black and white pictures. That's when I first fanned you. Long ago!
Take care.

I know where you are coming from with this:
Far out of my realm
so what in the hell is this
nothing lost but pride
It's a snobbish, tight community of airheads! Many contest entrants will think the same as you. Well done and well said.

Hey, Bob! What a surprise to see this 5-7-5 by you! I think your response to the contest is perfect--definitely in the spirit of the thing. I hope you do well--gotta remember to vote in this one.

In my humble opinion, you've not lost one shred of pride!

Nice little 5-7-5 poem for the yawn contest, Bob. It's nice to read some poetry from you again. Your poetic side of writing was always nice to read before you got into novels. Best wishes with the voters.
Smiles,
Indy :-)

Hello, Bob :)

I love your yawn contest entry. You did a great job following the big a$$ list of rules. LOL

You may be out of your realm or genre but you are still fabulous.
''Nothing lost but pride''. Good one, Bob, pride is a big risk to take but nothing risked nothing gained. Your 3-line poem is well done!

This is a well done yawn-producing poem. I was bored all the way throughIt was dull-lightful to read and even worse when read aloud. Good job
