It had to be a challenging write?? Hope you do well in the contest. I'm not diverse enough for that kind of thing.

An unusual form to read, Kim. I had to check the definition to know what I was looking for, but found a well written Ekphrasis. The imagery showed the scene well. Good luck in the contest! A poet friend in Texas, Bill
