Fortitude Foundation of fierce stone, forging life on its own. Fortissimo strong heart, fights for its every part. Force but with strength of mind, fiber finer than wine, from firmest on the vine. 9/23/16 https://www.howmanysyllables.com/poem_syllable_counter_workshop/index 42 syllables in all 7 lines

I'm going to be busy spending a few days with my grandkids and then I'm off to spend a month with my mom. I'll be back mid-November and then I'll sponsor the "G" contest.
