Greetings, Nani!

I discovered this by using the Random Read and Review button.

First thing I have to say is... I almost couldn't find your poem amid the rules *Shock2* I've never seen someone front-load all the rules and prompts into their item and then place their four lines of 24 syllables at the very bottom. It's kind of upended. I highly recommend placing all the prompt text into a {dropnote:"Notes"}add prompts and rules here{/dropnote} at the top, and then using {size:4}{font:Verdana} to make sure your 24 syllables are as prominent on the page as possible.

Thematically, this was perfect! I chuckled at the insanity of gnats. We've had our own issues with them over the years, both in Florida and Tennessee. I never really thought of them as being endemic to the Southern US, though. Something to consider, with the heat and humidity. You nailed the prompt with the 24 syllables really bringing home the frustration.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *WingL**Heartv**WingR*
