RUBAI OF SMILING by Prof. Mes
Have we not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth: smiling?
What things God hath created, and that especially it may be the thing
That their own term draweth nigh? In what fact after this shall we have believed?
It-smiling, sendeth astray, there is no guide for them whom it leaveth…

I shall finish my FINAL NOTE speech down here seems how my computer did one and reloaded the page for me.
So, thanks to everyone for entering, I really enjoyed every entry.
Two of the honourable mentions are the two 16 or under entrants who I think entered great pieces.
The other one is one I enjoyed so much I couldn't let it go without a prize.
Sorry if you didn't win this time.
