APOLOGY: this poem was sent before voting started; however, i only picked it up after Steliana emailed me asking for a list. Steliana i'm sorry i really did not see your submission before; at the time you prompted me already more thank half the number of players had already voted, so i could not add your poem; i do hope this will not deter you from entering subsequent kukai here at CKK
