Heya Jeff, I’m afraid too much symbolism rides on the mere Dove, backbreaking work indeed, oh sorry I forgot to mention my sentimentality poem turned out a success story as you predicted, cheers David

Sometimes we expect too much and our hopes are dashed. Good luck in the contest David. Tom

Thank you Tom, many ways of looking at this one, the dove is symbolic of so many things including freedom, I think it needs all the hope it can muster to keep flying, cheers David
