Hey David no, no smut but a clever poet who lets his Monokus soak overnight, and which certainly make the cut. Well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I really do let them soak overnight Jennifer, sometimes they plump up better, but occasionally go a bit too abstract and need adjustments next day before posting, cheers David

Intriguing at the leased, David. A bit of an after taste for me. I say they made the cut my friend. Bill

Thanks Bill, probably more allusive to sleeping on a poem, before posting always a good idea, cheers David

Sounded at first like a recipe for pre-soaking red beans before cooking them. At any rate, I enjoy your writes for their ability to make your reader give pause and think about what you're REALLY saying.

Thank you Jenna, you totally get my methods, I like to leave the reader with a little afterthought if possible, to bring more depth and insight into what I’m really thinking, cheers David

I found these so amusing, David. I think they make the cut, especially after marinating overnight.

Always a good idea Milton to let them soak up all the moisture before cooking, or when writing a monoku let it stew a little before posting, cheers David
