gosh, Laura, I went just now to my contest page and searched through all the entries (where ALL the poems show up) . this one is just not there. I am so sorry , dear. Did you double check to see if it really got entered? if it is truly entered and there has been a glitch (which happens now and then), I will show it at my blog. There is no reason I would not have put it on my list if it had gone through in my contest. Sorry, sweetie. I've started a new contest. Hope you do that one.

Hi Luloo, an excellent Sijo flowing from your pen. Such a wonderful image to behold in the mind. I tried keeping a journal when i was young but that turned into a bit of a funny disaster. This is seven material. A beautiful childhood write Luloo, wishing you all the best for the contest. Hugs....Mike. XX
