Thank you so much to everyone - I was a little hesitant about this one but liked it personally - once again the hard part is going to be coming up with a title to reference the photograph as the photo will not accompany the published poem.
I will reply to communications via e-mail. If you have not enabled e-mail communication then I cannot reply to your communications, if you want to hear back, you must enable me to do so, everything is more personal this way.
