Very clever, Cay Cay, and I admire the brevity of words. I left intimacy twisting long ago. LOL Nice work! Best wishes in the contest. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you so very much. I have had little Soup time as of late, in fact, I think this write has been the extent of my efforts and I've not had a chance to read. Please be patient with me, you are so sweet to read/comment on mine as you have. I appreciate you ... CayCay

Very well done in a lickety split second before the contest finished. Oh, I miss you TOO, my good friend. I am having a terrible frustrating day, so I only saw my 8 comments since I was here yesterday and I owe tons of comments to Line who has been visiting many of my poems, such a sweetie. I think I'll just go walk my dog and try not to worry that my computer may be broken. If it is, I have lost an entry for a contest which is in one of my files I can't get to. Have a good night.

No, your computer can't die, no, not like mine did for 8 months! Please update me on your computers health asap! Say it ain't so! Well, I've been on 10 minutes and reckon that's it for tonight. Some day we'll really talk, soon. Love, CayCay

I quickly wrote to grab the last contest 'slot' last night and didn't ponder too long after seeing how mini-worded her example was. I slammed, shot it, but I've no idea if I scored two points. Please see your page for my response about your 'wrong' concern! All the best .. CayCay

Love this, it is fantastic.. I placed the short one first in the contest then reread the instructions and went for the long one. What do you think the short one or the long one? Please help ! Luck in the contest Hugs Eve

You are an Aquarius, I'm a Libra - this means we could have a delightful time debating which one, which one indeed? Here I pause to do my internal debate ... ok, one is a great irrelevant, off-the-wall and amusing acrostic that I thoroughly enjoyed, while the hummingbirds are definitely at work in a lickety split fashion so I'm going with the later for purposes of the contest theme. How'd I do? You've no idea how long my pause was, wanted to give you a carefully Libra-weighed opinion! I've had fun here. Hope I helped. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
