poetry help: Great news, seeing as I always give bad ones. - Help.com

Great news, seeing as I always give bad ones.

I entered a poetry contest and I didn’t expect to go anywhere. Now I a finalist, “I am delighted to inform you that your poem “Nonsense” has been awarded our prestigious Editor’s Choice Award because it displays an original perspective and unique creativity — judged to be the qualities found most in exceptional poetry. Congratulations on your achievement!”
That is from the contest judges. I feel great and if you want to review and vote for my poem you can go to:
http://www.poetry.com/voteforme/poemv... or simply go to Poetry.com, put in Robert Wiley, and they will be under Robert Anthel Wiley. It is called Nonsense.

here is a copy, if you wish not to travel the internet:
Nonsense
Legs crossed,
Spinning webs,
Never knowing pain.

Shoes tied,
Broken heart,
Floating down the hill.

Never thinking twice,
Hoping to get caught,
Wanting to be loved.

Working hard,
Never learning.
Talking loud,
Never speaking.
Listening intently,
Never hearing.
Watching close,
Never seeing.

One question: Did you have to pay any money to get your poem put up on the Internet for voting? Or will you have to at some point?

Disregard my last post. I checked out the site myself and it seems pretty legit.

Nevertheless, I would like to warn you to be careful. A lot of these poetry sites and contests are nothing more than elaborate schemes with absolutely no literary merit. It happens quite often.
