Also New on the Wax Poetry and Art Network:
Title image shows a woman in a black dress swinging a bright red scarf so the scarf seems to be flying. Behind the woman is a grey wall. On the left side of the image, a section of wall has chipped away to reveal a red brick wall underneath the grey. Title image shows seven wild horses running through a grassy field on a bright sunny day with a clear blue sky. Title image shows the tips of several ball point pens, arranged in a semi circle so the tips seem to point to a single featured spot. Image shows a basketball on an outdoor metal bench. In the background, grass and a brick building, like a school. Title image is a text header that reads, 'Comet and Poetry World Results and Ranking.'
