Congratulations to

zirconium for willing Challenge #7, the "how are you in etheree format" challenge. Thanks to all who entered, all the entries were wonderful. We didn't have any entries for Challenge #8, so no winner to declare for that challenge.

Challege #9: Many of the poems shared this past week by
