I got a commended in Foyle Young Poets Competition!!!

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that in May I entered the Foyle Young Poet Competition and today I received a letter:

'You have been selected by Lemm Sissay and Selima Hill as one of the 85 commended poets of the Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award 2009! You were selected from over six thousand young poets across the world.'

And they've invited me to come down to London on 8th October for a prize giving ceremony!

I just want to thank everyone on ABCtales for all your support and help you have given me in the year that I have been a member! I really do appreciate it ;)

Bonjour Magie Fortuite. This is, I think, very good.

Very well deserved - you are a very talented poet and I wouldn't be surprised if you scooped the top prize.

Only just spotted this in forum; well done Magic and richly deserved. I just want to see the pieces that they adjudged better...there must be some mistake. Don't forget my Porche when you get rich and famous; remember, you promised ;) XXXX
