So I found out a week ago that my poetry made it to the National level for the third consecutive year, however, it was not what the national judges were looking for... again. I get so close and then, bam! I can't figure out what they want! My mom thinks they want work that you have to read twice or three times before really getting to the heart of the piece... She also says that Robert Frost would probably not get passed the national judges because of his writing style. That made me feel better. My poetry did receive a Silver Key Award, though.
