The 2010 North Star Shining Star contest co-winner:

1633450		My Oxygen  [E]
Remembering the life and love she gave from one little molecule.
by Brian Keith Compton

The poem that earned my a Shining Star from the Circle of Sisters in September of 2009:

1599485		Old Log  [E]
A naturist's kinship with a rotting log puts life, death and purpose in perspective.
by Brian Keith Compton

In 2009, after a two year contest drought, I earned the Shining Star award for "Old Log". Read more in my blog..."Thank You For The Honor" . The poem has since been nominated for a Quill award.

"The Passing Days"  was selected to receive an Awardicon in conjunction with my selection as a Rising Star at Writing.Com for October, 2006.

1154212		The Passing Days  [E]
Passing time with the woman who filled me with a lifetime of inspiration.
by Brian Keith Compton


I was blessed to have the guidance of MDuci , who was the preferred author who sponsored me. Grazi, Marlena! And thanks to Gabriella who started Rising Star and has also become a good friend.

(A lot of the items below may now be temporarily or otherwise unavailable)


My first recognition was an anonymous upgraded membership in August, 2006 after reviews for "Hidden Flower" , the poem that will always be my first award winner at Writing.Com.

My first poem to be awarded, and a first place at that, was "The Evergreen"  in the weekly Poetry Prizm contest. It earned an Awardicon in the Beauty of Nature contest from buttery388 on Nov. 1, 2006. Thank You, Annalynne!

animatqua enshrined "Before I'm Rejected By You"  in her folder of favorites, and awarded me my first awardicon ribbon. THANK YOU, Barb!



"Scripted"  and "Journey's End"  were awarded in the 41st and 42nd weeks of the Weekly Newbie Challenge, also in September (2006).

"Flower Of My Memory"  has received two recognitions: In the last week of September, the weekly Picky Poetry contest. And a merit badge from Jessica at RAOK. And an Awardicon from kelly1202.

"A Better Love Tomorrow"  My first award for October! Iva Mae's Nostalgia contest, which also received 2nd place in the Picky Poetry Contest for the first week of October.

"Iron and Ore"  won first place in Iva Mae's Nostalgia contest for the month of November. And also captured a merit badge to go with the 15,000-point grand prize. The contest has since been suspended because of Iva's health. My thoughts and prayers go to her.

"Wait For Snow"  won first place in the weekly Picky Poetry contest on Dec. 25, 2006.

"The Passing Days"  also earned recognition from Nikola's Twice Monthly poetry contest in September (2006).

One non-poetry related item: "Fishing With Dad"  in another contest sponsored by Iva Mae. Thanks Iva & Charles C. I have enjoyed participating in their contests.

Please donate to all of the contests above. Each and everyone is a great place for writer's to showcase their talents and get valuable feedback and recognition. I know now that it takes special people with dedication to make these contests and Writing.Com what they are.

Thanks for visiting!
