Thank you Agnes. It is a tough one; another poet kindly pointed out I did not follow all of the rules, I'm too happy with it to edit, so I withdrew ;) xomo

Well done and a very good subject you have chosen, Maureen. This was not an easy form. I ignored the first contest because I didn't think I could do it, but after reading the winners list maybe I should have tried. Good luck in the contest. Hugs Eve ~`*

Surprised to see Colorado in the title. I thought you were stuck in one of your Canadian big ones.

I am. Never unaffected by American weather ;) "Carolina Low", the mumble on the radio before the centimeter snow forecast. I still have not figured out where you are stuck.
