Hi Kim, this great Naani of wrestlers reminds me of my dear late husband's love of the old school Saturday professional wrestling show on t.v. When we were stationed in DC we went to the coliseum in the DC area, don't remember the name of it, to see a WWF show. Those were the good old days, lol! Thank you for reviving those memories. Blessings to you.

You really have talent. I do not venture into new forms. I feel comfortable in free verse.

Thank you! This one was from yesterday’s experience. My son was a 4 time state champion in high school and an All-American champion in college. His 9 year old nephew was sizing him up and then asked him to show him some moves. A great night :)

Interesting new form, Kim. Looks like a bit of a challenge.
