Thanks for appreciating the write and your kind wishes, dear poetess. Would have sent you what the picture purports if it could be transmitted electronically. It may be particularly desired in these summer months. You can save the picture which is quite appealing. Wish you a pleasant weekend.

Glad you wrote it the old way so it would be easier to know what is actually on the page and in the poet's mind. Congrats on your winner. Way to go. Sara K

Thank you poet friend for appreciating the above write and the supportive illustration. It is rather fun trying to design some shapes with words. Wishing you a cheerful day
