I've finally managed to judge the "Solitude" poetry competition. Soup hasn't posted the winners list yet, so while I wait to be able to make the blog announcement, I'm telling a few people how they did. Loved this piece from the start, it leaves a smile on my face each time I read it. John mate, you secured 4th place. Well done.

Jade, thank you so much for reading and commenting. Sorry I am so long in responding I've had too many peas and not enough shells to cover them lately.
