Congratulations L! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest. I was very strict, but your poem rose in the ranks and made the list. Very well done my friend, Emile.

Thanks so much, Emile. I was afraid the "principle" placed inside the piece might disqualify it, but, apparently not. Thanks again!
