Honorable Mention for my poem "Late March"

Someone has informed me that my poem "Late March" won an honorable mention in the Eastport Arts Center's inagural Charles Moore Poetry Prize Competition.   I posted this poem before, wrongly claming that it did not receive any remark:

I worked hard to craft this poem, including some underappreciated verbs.  The competition was judged by nationally known poet Heather McHugh.  Seeing as how I haven't submitted any poems anywhere, for years, except to this local Competition, I am happy to get some positive feedback, so to speak.

A big thank you to the Eastport Arts Center for being, well, yes, a center of art--and literature--in the Down East region.  Here's a link to the Competition annuoncement:
