In case you're curious, Sylvia suggested that I post this here from the challenges:
REVISION #1 ... Thanks, Larry and Lori!  A Door to Curiosity Walking the halls of his high school last week, something made his curiosity peak. Daybreak peeked in from a place where he swore he'd never noticed a doorway before! Faintly a song had emerged from the mist seeping out under the door... which was locked. Nearly in shock, he looked 'round to enlist help to gain entrance to where he had knocked. No one was there, so he battered and kicked 'til he became so worn out, he sat down right where he was, heaving hard; he was licked.... Suddenly out of the space came a clown mocking the rube like Uriah the Heep. Thoroughly humbled, I woke from my sleep. © MLee Dickens'son 2013 from a challenge to use the words: daybreak, song, mist and shock... and the phrase: He'd never noticed a door there before. ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Hey Merlin!  I've enjoyed this 'different' sonnet so much that I'd like to nominate it for IBPC. It would be sent for August, too late for July. If you agree? You have plenty of time to tweak it. Do you wish for any suggestions? No *** in sight!!  Cheers, Syl***
