Thank you very much, Tristan, Sid, mac and Not, for the kind replies. Appreciated.

Yes, I think the title could do with a nudge, Not. Agreed.

Brilliant news JJ!
As soon as I saw the title it immediately evoked the poem - partly I think because that is the word the N himself would
use, though only in private to himself - and it made me think of the open lakeland 'a's too.
Best,
Jules

Well one, JJ. I don't imagine many sonnets get entered in the IBPC.

Thanks, Ray

yes, and it's the second sonnet of mine to take 1st place. I managed the first one a couple of years ago. Nobody was more surprised than me.
