The effective and striking contrast between your title and the word ‘betrayal’ in the broken heart shape is ingenious, John. Beautifully done and congratulations on your wonderful win. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Hello John, how did you manage to do the poem in a heart shape? It must have taken you a few hours to do the poem this way. Have a nice evening my friend.

Hi Darlene. Yes, it took a little while - and more than a few attempts to get it right. Even then, it looks different on the site, than it did in Word, so had to make a few last minute adjustments! Seems to have worked, though!! Thanks for the kind comments. Regards, John.

OH MY, I was not expecting that word!! I sure would not want to be the judge of this contest. I think I do not have a prayer with my entry after all the good ones I am seeing!

Thanks, Andrea. I wasn't sure if the title was meant to be the same as - or different from - the "one word" in the main body, so went for a twist! Regards, John.
