WOW, Barbara, and this reminds me of a long time ago when someone did a natural disasters kind of contest. I remember focusing on three or four elements like you did but I forget now if I did them as haiku or tanka or what?? anyway, OMG, I was really happily surprised about my win. Let me soupmail you my address.
