Great advice, Shadow, and my best to you in the contest. I liked your line about using words to paint pictures. How true and powerful that thought is.

good way to do it. I did mine really short like that too, Shadow. Just spruced up an older poem and put it in the contest. She does not pick many winners so I don't count on winning it!! Nice seeing you today hon.
