Many thanks Paul, it felt like a gamble if an entry but I liked that door handles don't find their way into poems that often so went with it. Thanks for your kind words :)

I may have spent a full day and a half thinking of these - although this was one of the first due to the door handle being in the room haha I renamed my others call and response but wrote pages of them :)

Congrats Well done. You had so many brilliant Bantus I think you could have chosen any one of them to win. Wonderful effort

I really doubted this one when I saw the others coming in - another telegraph pole but in a good way :)

Thanks DT - I absolutely adored this contest. I even tried to get people to play in real life (I was told to take a walk though haha)

Mmmmm I like the wallpaper and crowd faces one .... Funny, I was thinking of the Anonymous mask used to dodge facial recognition. Talking of which: Back to the grindstone. The kitchen will not clean itself :))
