Wishes
Have
Shadows
That
Push them
In to
Existence
Never
Dimming the light
Across
The path
That
Raises them
Above
The gravity
Of
Earth’s pull
As
It tries
Without success
To
Stop us all
From
Flying
In to
Bliss
With
Each
Wish

It’s award season. I never watch awards shows. I figure I shouldn’t have to sit through 3 hours of over-the-top, scripted, rehearsed programming to learn who has been chosen by their peers to take home a statue. I know I sound jaded but I just can’t help thinking about the other things I could do with that time. I read the results after the shows are over, which takes about a whole 10 minutes.
On top of this, I’ve never understood the whole process behind each award. If only it could be this straightforward:
Francina at Seasons Poetry has nominated me for two blog awards, the ABC Blogger Award and the Genuine Blogger Award. She is a regular visitor to my site and she always leaves supportive comments. I appreciate every word of encouragement she has given to me.
Thank you for your support and for sharing my work with other bloggers in the WordPress community Francina!
I know they aren’t Oscars, Golden Globes or Grammys, but I feel more proud than any Hollywood star accepting these awards for my writing. I graciously accept both of these awards and now, unlike the Oscars, Golden Globes or Grammys, I get to pass them along to fellow bloggers.

The Genuine Blogger Award has no rules, which means that I don’t have to list any facts about myself and I get to pass it to anyone I like.
I would like to give this award to one blogger
The first time I read a post by Mark Sugden at Letters to Alfie I cried, not because it was sad, but because it was full of so much love for his son. Mark writes every post in the form of a letter to his son Alfie. I think it’s a wonderful way to let him know he is loved.

The ABC (Awesome Blog Content) Award is different. For this award, there is no limit to how many of your fellow bloggers you can honour. However, I must share some things about myself in alphabetical order, at least one word, or two starting with each letter of the alphabet. Here goes…

I am passing the ABC Award on to the following bloggers because I find their work interesting and inspiring, each for different reasons. I hope you enjoy them too.

If you’re like me and don’t watch the awards shows I hope you’re still able to enjoy awards season.
Thanks again to Francina!
