Susan Ashley November 20, 2022 at 9:58 AM Dear Milt, I adore your wonderful string of footles. Each one a gem, but together a treasure trove of delight! Superb! Congratulations for your excellent win in Brian’s contest. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan Susan Ashley November 20, 2022 at 5:27 PM I never would have known that you find footles difficult to do because they are so well done and flow so cleverly and naturally. You make a difficult poetry form look easy, Milt, the mark of an accomplished poet.. L Milton Hankins November 20, 2022 at 1:34 PM Thank you, Susan. I find that these are extremely difficult to do.

Tom Cunningham November 18, 2022 at 10:43 AM Great string of footles Milton, they're so addictive once you start writing them. Good luck in Brian's contest. Tom L Milton Hankins November 18, 2022 at 12:34 PM Thanks so much, Tom. I decided to enter them since he seems to enjoy them so much. I find them very difficult to write myself.
