I truly do not have a legitimate 'rip-off' report as most of you, rather, Steve Michaels & Poetry.com have left me completely 'dumbfounded' and simply, 'just-hanhing', since 2001.

That year, I entered a poetry contest with Poetry.com/ISP, and was notified months later that I had 'won 1st place' in the contest.

My awards for winning are; custom engraved Outstanding Achievement in Poetry Silver Award Bowl, a bronze Commemorative Award Medallion, ISP decal and patch, and a Full One Year Membership into the ISP for 2002.

I was emailed an invitation to collect my awards, as well as read my winning poem, in Washington, DC.

I wrote Mr. Michaels back, thanking - him, poetry.com, & ISP, but explained to him that I am a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the shoulders down and would-not be able to attend.

I didn't hear back from him until, Spring of '02, same pitch except the conference was at Walt Disney, FL. Again I replied, explaining my health conditions for that type of climate, 'no-reply'.

It's been the same ordeal, right-up until a month ago I am 'once-again' invited to sunny FL., but this year I can still receive my awards for a payment of $169.00 + S&H.

But now I cannot reach any of them. It's not the 'awards' or the costof said that has me writing, I would just 'truly' like to know the quality of my poetry. That's all.

My winning poem was titled, 'My Wife'. I looked for it to be posted somewhere within ISP, but never found it. So if anyone has seen my wife's poem, whether it's lame or not, please email me.

Thanks to all,

James
