It's a pity that the website doesn't allow fixed width fonts for shape poems. However, this is still great! Congrats on your win Eve! :-)

Mark, it funny you say that. On my computer it shows it is off in structure, but my small note pad is in perfect form so I'm not sure what is going on.... Thank you for the congratulations Hugs Eve
