“Highly Commended” Poetry Kit Competition

Annette’s poem “My Mother Mends Her Nylons” has been highly commended in the Poetry  Kit Summer Poetry Competition on the theme of “Film”. She really enjoyed the theme.

She will shortly be featured poet in the Caught in the Net  Newsletter and website at Poetry Kit. Annette is really excited that new poems, as well as poems already published, will receive such exposure. Caught in the Net is read by around 50,000 people over a three month period. In the meantime a link to the Competition results is here .
