I love the way you carried through without capitals honoring the senryu form Milton, yet using the proper Pleiades form called for. You captured this form perfectly in your entry. This should great. Blessings xxoo

Ah, thank you so much, Connie. I certainly hope so. I was some time deciding whether I wanted to enter this contest and what form to write about. Senryu seemed a good fit for me.
