Very interesting and free-style. Considering game as the goal instead of victory or loss. Congratulations!

Absolutely! You have far more patience than I have, John. After a while, I begin to question my ability to write a decent poem, and that gets frustrating! I'm learning to say, "Well, it's just that person's opinion, and what is their opinion really worth?"
