Notes About The Poem
I have about twenty other poets I wanted to add to this poem. You know who you are. I would list your names but then there would be one or two poets who would feel badly they were left out, so I will not. The problem is - I was limited to 22 lines. I wanted to add more but I was LIMITED, so I want you to know I love you all, and appreciate your support and wish I could have added all of you. There simply was no room. If you had a short name you were more likely to make the cut. Which reminds me. I might be able to sneak in one more name if it is SHORT enough.
