I also thank The International Society of Poets for acknowledging my poetic ability to express myself through my writings and nominating me as Poet of the Year in 2005. The League of American Poets who published this same poem in A Treasury of American Poetry in 2006 that signifies me as an artist. In 2006 Noble House of New York-London- Paris congratulated me on my talent and said I deserve appropriate international recognition as well... I thank you.
