as usual you are good at what you do, and thank you for your kind comment again as usual, Yes, it's a true story, most of the poems in my collection are true, You see I lived on the street off and on since I was l6 and I am a Vietnam Vet, I have seen it all and when I had a life changing thing happen in 2003, I turned to God and that is that, never been happier in my life, so try my poem Unknown man in a lonely grave, My family still tends the grave in Vermont, someone from the family goes.

This is real cool! I diGG chillin' with the HiGhCooZ! I posted a pretty different style poem. I don't really know if it is a "form"...but it's a form to me. Check it out. On a "writing break",and after a mean 3 hour Hank Bukowski sitting, I wrote 30 or so new poems. Some break huh?

Very good! I saw the Horsehead Nebula through a telescope and the swirling gases were green with a little blue and yellow. The nebula in the contest picture is one I haven't seen, but I enjoyed your description of its perpetual swirl. Thats what space is like. Everything in motion. Good luck in the contest. Best to you, Diane
