I really like this one, great answer to that often times used phrase that nobody seems to be able to answer... I guess now we all have a logical answer for it... lol
Best of wishes in the contest dear. And by the way, thanks for explaining the form you used in your author notes. I always appreciate when a poet does that, often times I already know the form, but when I don't it becomes a valuable tool.
Thank you again, and Good luck during the judging phase.
