    Just got the mug I purchased and I'm very pleased...!
    My concern was where you would edit ..what you'd have to not include as my poem is too long for all to fit.
    You used great judgement in it's preparation..
    Thank you so much!

    Beautiful mug but i can't afford it plus i don't think id want to wake each morning to coffee with memories of my poem with such sensitivity and sadness ....but still the mug is very nice, One day I will write inspiring poems and perhaps win one of these mugs, but for now writing helps me deal with ill memories, i need to forget and that's all good.

    I would want one of these even if I don't win!
    ... not for me, but for the love by whom my poems' were inspired!!
    Can I buy one?
    Maybe she'll think of me with her coffee?

      Hi there, We strive to include the entire poem on the mug. However, if the poem is too long to fit, we may have to print only an excerpt of it.

      Hi Alan, You were awarded two mugs as part of our rewarding program (well done, there!). According to our records and the delivery service, one was delivered to a parcel locker on May 6, and the other was delivered to a parcel locker at the same location on May 20. I've sent both tracking links to your account as a personal message.

    The mugs with the poems printed on them look great. I'm looking forward to receiving mine. I'm a little confused as to where to send my mailing address. I was a runner up in September competition. Thanks for your help. Jeffrey Rollins
