The fastest path to a definition of Suzette Prime and an example of the prime numbers, is via "Definitions" here at PS. It is very straight forward, really - no fancy footwork or tricks in the design or my contest description.

Ahhh refection is restoration. I didn't know that. Love the message and the amazing alliteration, Suzette. I think I need to find your old blogs on Suzette prime and try to do your contest sometime. I can't seem to remember new forms very well and I keep making typos with my cell phone. I wonder if it's a good sign of aging!

Suzette Prime has been around since 2012, so hardly new. Thanks for the compliment regarding this one-liner, Andrea.

I miss the sunrises over the Yorkshire Moors. I worked there some time ago before returning to SA. Every sunrise and sunset hold a special chance at memories - as in my example poem, Verismo, at the Definition of Suzette Prime here at PoetrySoup.

I have also been in a dark place until recently. I am trying to focus on the light ... Thank you for reading and your kind comment, Paige.

Memories reseed in refection - why does everyone send me seeking my dictionary. This holds so much meaning in a few words.( doh and then I reread your notes)

Someone once told me that he read my poems as he was sure to learn a new word everytime.
