thank you, Dr. Ram for the read and the placement. Happy New Year to you also. We have had (after tomorrow) three funerals among our friends since Christmas. We need a break.

Thanks, Laura, modern cinquin - a unique concept, I've written several other cinquain forms; but I like the fourth line in this form - it allows for a statement.
