this happens to many of us here, John. Sometimes we feel we did such a great job and we get shot right down. Congrats on your win. I really like this one.

The heart of the poet who joins a contest should temporarily turn to steel. Win or loose, he/she will never have to suffer nor drink booze. In any case, I have a long way to go, so the contest vales I as much as possible avoid, lest my fragile heart fail. Oh but I digress, what you have here, really reads like a winner. Goodluck! Kim :D
