I haven't entered a contest in many years Lin. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you maybe someday I will. I just write for fun and expression. I do not consider myself a poet I am just a guy who likes to share ideas and entertain people. I prefer telling stories that impact peoples lives...

A tricky monoku to navigate Lin, with only ten syllables and a title to play around with, you have done a great job and made a profound statement in the process, all the best for contest, I best get my monoku hat back on, hmmm I have an idea I’ll sleep on it, and hope I’ll survive til morning! Cheers David
