Beautiful cinquain, Miss Nette. Hopefully this will cheer you up while your allergies are killin' ya. I think we may be much alike---I love postcards, paper, and save almost everything that moved my heart over the years...... Just holding a birthday card or post card from my family that went on to heaven soothes my aching heart. Congrats on this top notch spot! Love, Gwendolen. :)

When I look at old photos (even postcards) of people who are no longer in my life, I get the feeling you describe so eloquently in your cinquain, Nette. Excellent use of the form and a powerful message as well. Wishing you success in John's contest. Love, Carolyn
