I really like your KU, JOhn. I'm seeing a lot of good ones, and not just on the winner list!

Thanks Andrea, I'm still somewhat at odds with the "new" KU. Mostly because i haven't sorted out if it is a composite of the Senryu and Haiku covering everything...Oh Well....'tis the plight of the poet...
