No Plaints
August 4, 2025

Hurrah! My poem Plaints of the Old Git has won first place in the ‘rhyming poetry’ category of the annual Writers’ Digest competition! The prize is $1,000 plus various other goodies.
I’m not quite sure whether I’m allowed to share the poem here, but if so I will. It consists of three sonnets, with two lines filleted out of the second so as to come within the 40 line limit.
