Far better to be optimistic that filled with doom and gloom, Thank you, Mike.

It has a way of keeping us humble, doesn't it, Ink. Thanks so much for your remarks.

I haven't entered a contest in many years Lin. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you maybe someday I will. I just write for fun and expression. I do not consider myself a poet I am just a guy who likes to share ideas and entertain people. I prefer telling stories that impact peoples lives...

You're a good example of one who supports his fellow poets, Michael. Have you tried one. Thanks for the many fine comments you leave for me. hugs

A tricky monoku to navigate Lin, with only ten syllables and a title to play around with, you have done a great job and made a profound statement in the process, all the best for contest, I best get my monoku hat back on, hmmm I have an idea I’ll sleep on it, and hope I’ll survive til morning! Cheers David
