Christened

.                   Shimmering white shore

                  Anointed by shafts of sun

                        Baptismal waters

Congrats Carrie on your win!..This is nearly a mixture between Haiiku and Senryu...great! I must add something to my Abandoned Houses: The problem here in Zittau is that after unification many house owner disappeared to the West and now many really nice and old buildings are in ruins, some even from the 18th Century! And some are even in the towns center...Incredibkle for me! Keep your pen flowing and have a Happy Easter!...Gert

This is the Easter motif subtext and it is a good one. You keep the thought throughout and this is really fine. It is subdued, but unique. Congratulations on all your marvelous poetry as you are one of the best. Regards, Gerard.
