Thanks for the congrats, folks! I have not had a win (or mention) for a long time.
I think this was one of the most fertile themes set, for a while.
P.S.
I don't have the magazine itself to check, but - if set out there as shown above - my poem has been made 17 lines; over the limit set.
However, it was sent in with the final (single) line being:
'Will folks at home believe me? And - do you?'
(I do hope folks believe me!
)
