When one writes the feeling of being honoured is so very rewarding. I enjoyed reading your words... they are so very true.

Being humble makes us better people , opens our hearts , lets us set aside our pride so we can see our wrongs ,makes us more willing to listen to what others have to say.

Most of us can tell the difference between someone who writes solely for money or fame, and someone who has to share what is in them. You write with true feeling. Karen

    Send out this notice to everyone you can. Jesse James Doty is going under the knife at 1pm Monday. The operation is on his neck. Dangerous. Please encourage others to pray or send good wishes if you can. They are trying to strengthen his neck so he will have less pain. Pass this along please. You can copy this and add it to you messages.

When it comes to writing, this poem is well-written. Writing makes me ponder or think about the topic; we must keep the reader interested; but not entertained. That's what we do when we have guests over.

Humility is a strong virtue and too many authors appear to shun it. I like the simplicity of your poetic words and the honest revelation expressed in your authors note. The reason for writing is a crucial part of the resulting outpour. Write on!

Humility is a gift. I am still waiting for it. Ha!

Great 4/8/4. I have seen a few of these and all are good, but I think you are the current front runner.

Good luck!

One would have to love the expression of 'eating humble pie' it's much larger than we think it is, it tends to be something we're forced to do after we 're found out. Beautifully written entry in this contest, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

This is extremely difficult for me, so this works and has meaning, it deserves credence. Again I like this poem and have said all I think is needed to be expressed.

This is a really valid and lovely reason to write. I enjoy reading great writing and feeling inspired by the good work others are doing - it's one of my principal joys here at FanStory.

So far this is the most poetic entry I've seen. It is much easier for me to write as well when I have someone I am writing for. Most of the time that person is my husband.

Good luck in the contest.
