I remember senator Edwards. I see you read my Spread My Wings, :)

Yes, I did read it. I am methodically reading all your work that I didn't see before. This is going to take some time, but it is nice to see you make a transition several years ago. Of course, your comments here are very welcome. That particular poem of yours was very encouraging. For all, there is a time to move forward after mourning.

Hey, have you ever considered doing a clerihew? My friend Gwen and I are going to try to do an anthology of clerihews in the future. right now we are just scoping out all the good ones here at Soup. I have over 50 from here and am gathering more from friends. TRY a few . I think you would do well with them. they are a bit like limericks.

Andrea, I am not really a versatile poet like you. I just express my anger and frustration as simply as I can. I might try something new here if I can ever retire and devote more time to it, but the expense of living makes that seem almost impossible. It's funny, but I am only responding to your comment 2.5 years later. Just happened to be here looking at somethings I wrote.

Not sure of the names in this one, but I know of Senator Edwards and I love that final line.
