Thank you, SKAt. It's always nice to have you drop by.

Can anybody put a price on love? Just a few words, but they convey a lot of quality descriptivenesss. If this was entered in a contest and you won, then congratulations.

Thank you, Robert. It was entered in a Senryu contest (Anything NOT About Love) and earned a 2nd Place finish. I would suggest you check out the other winners. There were some fine pieces in that contest.
