Hey there. I hope you still remember me. This write is a great entry- loved the imagery. I like your poem, but not the placement; when everyone places, no one places. Feel 'pushed' to enter just to stay where I am. Can you talk this Sunday? I have missed so much. Love ... CayCay

Andrea, you'd right. The contest you referred to was never judged.. I hope the sponsor is OK! I loved the little poem, too. Very much a true story! There's more about it in my book. RAY

Ooo, I want to be near that window to view these giants with white caps. So scenic, once we knock the obstacles down, hehe. * Rangers are from Glasgow & Everton are from Liverpool Andrea. They are the two teams I follow. Have a lovely weekend...:)

I really enjoyed reading this one, Andrea--- and that last line is so cute, with the giants wearing white caps! too bad your view gets blocked :( -- but you sure wrote a very interesting haiku with it :) Sorry I missed this contest! Congrats on your win! :) hugs to you :)
