Hello Is your first name really Maureen? It's good to see some 'political/social poems. Rather than some of the pretentious stuff in lit mags. Do you ever write longer stuff? Alan

...and thank you! Pretentious I am not. My recent post "10 Poems That Define Me", for a so named contest, will give you a nutshell insight into my mind and works if you are interested. Clicking on "go to poem" will alphabetize my poems list. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Yes Alan! I was Maureen McGreavy here for 4 years, and I still am in real life. I do write some longer pieces. I just have a habit of whittling words, come to think of it, particularly when tackling political/social stuff. xomo

Sometimes, its good to be slow, it gives you time to be accurate in taking the next step. Great piece of work.

Keep on rolling with a few bounces now and then! Aloha! Rico

Thank you my friend! Bouncing every day! Did I tell you about that? Got a mini trampoline. Huge improvement in neurofatigue and vestibular. I don't fall over when the lights go out, buildings aren't bouncing when I walk. Amygdala still an evil little demon. I shove light up my nose every day hoping to shrink that monster. Hugs brah, xomo <3
