    Mel, you don't need the punctuation, but this is otherwise a lovely piece. Very well crafted indeed. "yellow pegs of spring" - wonderfully inventive phrase.

    hi abstract dreamer When i first saw what the contest entailed I was intrigued, read one small snippet about cribbage online, saw the words 'cards' and...hey presto the poem was at my fingertips in seconds. I really thought it was going to be hard to write. Thanks for the congrats it's much appreciated

    hugs,
