Congratulations dear Vijay on your win in this contest - as always a Monoku with great imagination, if it just wasn 't for those clouds that spoilt the moment. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

In one wonderful line you have interpreted the unpredictability of fate.. the complexity of a world in motion in which man is striving to be.. A great Monoku, dear Vijay! A great mastery of forms of poetry! The best of luck in the contest! Best regards and blessings.
