The new poems list I must scour
For poetry by Ilene Bauer
The flow of each line
Is simply divine
Her witty words I just devour

Rico Leffanta Date: 3/23/2022 11:25:00 AM "Bauer" is a German two-syllable word meaning "farmer" unless playing chess when it means, "pawn". I always check Ilene's daily posting for her wit as well as her command of the English language, so thank you for this tribute! Aloha!
