Okay, so today has been absolutely crazy, and while it’s not strictly poetry related, I thought I would share the news with all of you…
The Good News
I’m feeling waaaay better. And when I say way better, I mean I’m not at as big of risk for pneumonia anymore, and I actually feel alive.
The Better News
I got a letter in the mail from the World Poetry Movement saying that the poem I submitted (Storm, Fire, Ice) is a semi-finalist in the International World Open Poetry Contest. And that’s not all. It’s going to be published!!! Whaaaat!?!
The Best News
My team and I (For You) were in Edmonton this weekend for our AVA tournament. Not only did we play my old team and beat them once, we ended up playing them again today and we won! And we also stayed in div one, knocking them out to div two. So we’re ninth in the province! Bo-yah!
So that’s that. I’m not a gloater, in any means, but honestly, this weekend was one of the better ones I’ve had in a long time, and it felt so good to know that the team that had beat me down, and the coach that said the team I was on wouldn’t make it beat them, not once, but twice, and while missing five players due to sickness/travel is awesome. It’s a high that makes me love this sport. Not necessarily winning, but being able to fight for something, know you’ve done well, and feel that explosive energy that comes from winning. 
Hope you guys had a good weekend too! Look out for a new poem this week.
