SKAT, thank you sooo much for hosting this contest. It has been very rewarding for me. The poems are wonderful and I am awestruck by the exceptional talent of the writers in and outside of the competition (including you). Thank you again. rjijr ?(?????`? The last ?s were supposed to be a kaomoji of a smiling bird. Sorry.
