Oh my goodness, I know exactly what you are talking about :-)! As a matter of fact, I have quite a few unfinished pieces that I go back to periodically to see if I can complete them - but alas, they are still "works in progress!" LOL! I love how you put all this together in such a wonderful rhyming piece! Hugs. Pandita

Gershon, that is spot on, I certainly hold back now before I realease them. In the past I've spotted errors and quickly hit the manage poems button. Tom
