Such a beautiful flower Joyce, good luck in the contest. Also, thank you for the tuition on my grammar. It's my weak spot, thx. On the Soup I give every single poem a SEVEN, as I enjoy the creativity and effort in their poetry. I hold no barriers by scoring any poem any different. If they had the intellegence to use the parameters more wisely, it's possible the rough would be seperated by the smooth. Frankly, I like them all, irrespective! we are all equal >> James,xx
