Hey, hey! First place trophy for a great lady!! So pleased to see your name at the top of the contest list. And such a well-deserved win: Loved this monoku. This may be stretching credulity a tad, Mo, but it's faintly reminiscent (to me) of the Psalmist's Line: 'They have eyes but do not see...' Kudos to you. :) :) gw

Hmm, hadn't thought of that, merely what does a Poet's eye see that other's don't, but now that you mention it, psalms, parables, and allegories I did embrace as a child. It's probably in there. :) Thank you so much comrade! xomo (The Paper Bag Princess)
