Midgie,
(On Tuesday, 7 October, in the same thread, we'll also start voting for our #1 favorite from the Meleager's bee thread, and for our #1, 2, and 3 favorites from among the eight finalists in the main Translation Bake-Off event. Voting will continue until Tuesday, 14 October.)
Thanks to all who rose to the challenge! We'll do this again sometime, with Meleager's second mosquito poem.
One for ever-lovin' Adelaide
