Hi, Carolyn. I hope you are doing fine. I am happy to see your poem win first place in Carol Brown's contest. It's true what you state in your Senryu..." children reflect their parents values and morals. " It was a well-deserved win. Have a Happy Memorial Day with your loved ones. Hugs, Andrew.

carolyn, I was given a really hard challenge by Deb. I want to do that card one. I fear I can't do Deb's OR yours. Otherwise give up comments here at Soup to work only on poetry. haha. And I am too obsessed for that! Sorry I can't think what to say about that big fish!
