[Newspoetry] newspoetry contest

[Joe Futrelle]

Dear Newspoets,

     What an incredible weekend it's been.  I'm now fully two weeks
ahead of schedule.  That means that I'm just one day shy of having
newspoems lined up for the rest of February.

     Now if you're anything like me, you're thinking, "how can I get
*my* poem into that last coveted spot in the first February of the new
millenium?"  Well it's this simple.  Enter the "Newspoetry Last Poem in
February 2000 Sweepstakes"!

     It couldn't be simpler to enter.  Just send a Newspoetry
proof-of-download (HTTP headers are fine, or just the HTML for the
homepage) along with a poem explaining how Newspoetry is important to
you and to America, in an email message with your address in the
Reply-to header field, and you could be selected to win!  If you win,
your poem will be published on February 28th, 2000 and you'll receive
a framed printout of it, autographed by Newspoetry founder William K
Gillespie!
