Peter! Congratulations! I'm all for competitions - Whatever is wrong with some people?! I know a poet here who thinks competitions are just for beginners and established poets shouldn't enter. What a lot of bull ... Anyway, congrats again. I haven't read the poem yet, but I'll do so in the morning. Tired from teaching and cricket and Olympics at present ...
