bending my mind around his words, makes me feel like a contortionist

Richard, Nicely said in your mind-bending Monoku. Freddie definitely fills the bill for 'Who Flips Your Trolley'. You both have a unique style. Good luck in the contest. -Richard

Man oh man, what a wonderful tribute from such a supremely talented poet. I am humbled ... but, I'm no fool, R. Reux. All glory goes to God for giving me this gift of words. How would I describe my quill style? I'm a message poet. I'm ghetto edgy. Meesa be a Warrior against hate, and a Romantic for love. Your poems always inspire to be a better messenger, Richard. Ty for your gracious words, I am gratefully humbled. Love and Happy New Year.
