Comments added to choices!

• Hard to pick the best one. I will settle for Rosemary's "Lofely Golden Cloud" . . . Joan
• Hi Terri, it is so hard to choose. Couldnt we do the thing we did before where we commented on all the photos? Well the images that came to my mind with this poem, were not exactly beautiful romantic pictures but more music and dancing and drinking, so, my choice has to go to Jean and Andy's even if it does use Photoshop because its EXACTLY the image I imagined, and I love the fact you are in the background. It's hilarious, just like the poem. My second choice would have to be Matilda the colored lady drinking water as she recovers from her wild night . . . Margot
• Can't see how this Matilda could do much waltzing . . . Rosemary
• Sorry I'm late but have just returned from a short break in Scotland. My vote goes to Joanne's lovely "golden radiance" . . . Harold
• My favourite to win is 'the blur of the moment' by Margot . . . saw many a room in this way in my partying days! And I love the painterly abstract images. Every photograph has something, so hard to choose. I love the photo editing party image Jean and Andy submitted. Great fun! . . . Jo
• Very interesting poem, all the interpretations were great and made it very hard to select one. I wanted one with the fun side so I think Matilda is the one who made me smile, but Jo and Rosemary were very strong contenders . . . Jacqui
• If you see the dark background as being rolling hills, then Rosemary's fits perfectly the 'lofely golden cloud that floats on the mountain prow'. Well done her . . . Terry
