Do so love the size of your heart. I am but your Patron, you the work of art. Words so eloquently crafted, beautifully smart. If I didn't know better Mo, I wouldn't know where to start. ;) A.S.

Never quit shaking it up Maureen. Your "tree" line reminded me of the song "Strange Fruit". Billie Holiday or Nina Simone both sang it. I've dealt with various forms of bigotry in my life. Always fight the fight; and keep on writing the right Maureen. Hugs...

Gotta look that up! I think I know it. Didn’t know when I wrote this it would be a continuing theme. Yikes. Have to stop shaking my head, too concussed already lol

I’m so happy to “see” you again, I was worried. The world needs more you… and poems about poo! ;), As for the bigotry, at least it’s awoken my slumbering muse. Hugs, xomo
