It is a compelling thing ... isnt it ... this need to put the words together to express a special thought. Beautiful.

I do it for both reasons. hahaha. Well, let's just say, the contests are mostly my inspiration because without them, my muse is fast to sleep!!! this is a great couplet but if she wants them rhymed, you might be in trouble!
