Thank you for encouraging, Michelle. I think I have told you I really struggle with the short forms. Trying to push myself towards spending more time with them. Enjoy your day ~ John

Hi John, a clever verse - an arrow travels at the speed of life, and congratulations on your fine win. John I have to apologize, I have answered all your poems but I have not replied on many poets, comments - I have fallen behind majorly but will definitely be doing so within this coming week. You are always so prompt with yours but unfortunately last week our small business was hectic, and I hardly had any time for myself and poetry soup. I hope you are well - please forgive me.

It is I who should be asking forgiveness for my lack of time spent at Soup lately, including the neglect of several of my favorite people. Your comments and replies are always gifts, Jenn. They come from the kindness of your heart and there is never any obligation as to frequency or timeliness. We give what we can and your comments more than fill my cup. Thank you for all of them. Hugs ~ John
