Kim Rodrigues December 16, 2018 at 12:28 PM One thinks they must comb through a long-winded poem but instead I say take the time to ponder the few words in a ku. Usually more than one thing being said. Like a skewer spinning over a campfire, we can view from many sides. Happy Holidays...doo doo doo doo! <3 Kim Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart December 17, 2018 at 7:43 AM Too much wind and the wrong blown away ;) well said! Happy Holidays to you too <3 xomo
