Ah! A poem by Joseph I haven't read. No wonder. With my 6th grade vocabulary I am unable to put the puzzle together. I suspect this is exactly the purpose of your wit. You rascal. Love, daver

Oh, a new poetical term, Joe?! I've already had to wrap my brain around the Haiku form! Still, I think your conclusion is correct, when one calls forth the "witness poetry'! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

Hey, I landed again on one of the last poems I ever found of yours to comment on, but that was in May! By the way, what was the meaning of Qoheleth here?

Sounds like you are a judge calling poetry to the witness stand? It helped me a little to look up Qoheleth on google and find this statement: all is futile under the Sun!

There is so much we can read between the lines of great poetry. On the surface, we may find a "confusion of conundrums" or a "diatribe of tribulation," but this is often the nature of poetry, Joe. Beautifully written, my friend. Love, Carolyn
