      Such vivid imagery! I saw a movie playing out in my head as I read.

      John, you should enter this in the Tom Howard/Margaret Reid poetry contest. If you take first prize, which this poem certainly could, you'd take home $3,500! Here's the link:

        Hi Shauna. Thank you for appreciating this poem, and the imagery. I am a member of Winning Writers and think I entered a poem in the Tom Howard/Margaret Reid contest years ago. Maybe I should give it another try. Thanks for the link.
