I was just informed yesterday from a newbie publishing company the my poem entered in their Poetry Contest has placed runner up (2nd place). I can't give any details yet as the press release hasn't been published yet. It comes with a nice cash payment and publication in the Fall 2008.
They said I came oh so close to placing first, but second is better then nothing. I'll take it with honor. I am happy as I have been on a mini streak of rejections of late (3 in a row).

Two busy days coming up; ran in the moonlight tonight, speaking of running, gorgeous silent night on the foothills leading to the canyons. 'night!
& wow, congrats! just read your post, making me long for some writing time again, my class is taking up most of the time that work and the time I promised to the Obama Dems doesn't. Most of my writing has been on my blogs -- journaling my running and some stuff from my dream journal. GAH, am rambling again, good night :)
congratulations... i love the line "i'll take it with honor"!
Thanks Letty!! Keep running and writing. Good luck on your upcoming finals and all.
