Competition: Pause and effect

issue 28 January 2012

In Competition No. 2731 you were invited to supply a poem in praise of punctuation.

An excellent entry, this. Space is tight and I very much regretted not having room for Alan Millard, David Duncan Jones and Frank Osen in addition to the worthy winners below.

The bonus fiver belongs to Basil Ransome-Davies.
