My muse surprised me, then again, she usually does. I follow blindly, then look back later and go "wow! I wrote that?" as layers of meaning unfurl before me. I suppose I'm instinctual. Thank you! I always feel the pressure for 'more'..."No short forms please..." xomo!

I think the LIST genre is fun! I did one called “Things with Strings” and “Lines”. I took the genre a step further by making my list and then setting it to rhyme...double genre. Anyhoo, yours is fun and we get a snapshot of you. Revealing!

Another great poet (New Yorker or Huskie of CT Yankee) earned his keep by Insuring those who did not need insurance. Nice to see something LONG written by Wordsmith & Birdsmith Maureen. shalom

Do you have those long tailed tropical birds? Just about the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.

I do love terns! They're like giant swallows, so graceful. Too far inland to see them here. If it's a bird, you know I'm a fan. No fowl too lowly for me. ~x
