Tom, I never knew I would live to see the day I would say thank goodness, it is a cold. So much better to be a cold and not COVID. I hope you get well soon. A cold is bad and lays a person low, but COVID is so much worse. Sara..Very creative work you have penned in this one. Way to go.

Well done to have achieved the acrostic according to the prescribed syllabic count and given a great description of your chosen theme, but you've cleverly managed to relate the first and last lines of each to make it a perfect 'lanterne' format. Bravo,Tom!

Tom Cunningham
Date: 3/20/2019 1:11:00 PM

Thank you very much Wendy, not the easiest form I've attempted. Tom.
