Charles, Your superb example of a Than-Bauk is every writer’s dream template. I’m deeply honoured by the pinnacle place awarded to me in this contest. Be safe and well. Enjoy Christmas Howard

never heard of this form before... can't help but wonder, is this about our silent one on the soup, or just a coincidence? my muse is just waking up so we will see if she is up for the challenge before it ends... hugs

I love how you put that, Arturo. I changed the title a few times before I found one most suitable to my taste. Hope all is well my friend. All the best to you as well...
