The boxes are filled with cards and the people are milling about Seems like another card show is taking place here in the heartland of the Amish tomorrow a church Monday, a Seder Collecting cards definitely keeps one sane and so do puzzles Is love a game? That is another question altogether

Puzzles occupy the mind and DO help keep us sane by providing a welcome distraction. Interesting image of the Amish "in the heartland," Matthew. Wishing you a Happy Easter, Carolyn

Matt, I think I never got back with you on the last comment message you made to me. I TOO am an ESL teacher, specialty in teaching TOEFL but also I teach all the levels and all aspects of ESL. Yes,I certainly do remember Tears of a clown. Loved it! OH, to be back in the early 70's!! Luv, Andrea

I am always enticed about a poem which hints to its poet's private experience. There is no need for an elaboration. Very well done.

ps I forgot to tell you, Apocolypto was a really cool movie about the end of the mayan civilization when Eurpeans arrived in their land. It's a very exciting visual movie by Mel Gibson, and Jaguar Paw was the main character (I think)It's been several years since I saw it and wrote that triolet. Try to see it!

Not sure I understand this one, but it sounds cool. I just saw the movie about the Amish and how they acted with such grace in the aftermath of the shooting at their schoolhouse. Thanks for reading my poem today. LUv,Andrea
