This is supposed to be a hand. Read each finger first from left to right. Then read the palm from bottom left, to top center, to bottom right. Finish off with the wrist.

    Very clever. A worthy winner. Not as funny as my entry but still clever. I shall try and do a hand one showing someone giving the finger.

    Thank you ^-^, when i'm not writing poetry, i'm into drawing, so I thought a block image would be a little too tacky for my taste :0p. Although there's someone else in this competition- I think- that did a really good job of it.

    Woof, I should have read the notes before trying to figure that out. Madness, but rather splendid. I'm impressed that you shaded the thing with the words rather than just doing a block image.
