When I read something like this, I see my English is useless. I'd rather learn Latin. Congrats, Gregory)

I'm so pleased you enjoyed my first Tyburn, Kim, and I thank you for the opportunity to learn a new form, and have fun doing so! I'm honored and humbled to be on a list with such fine fellow poets! Blessings, Friend! :-) <3

ooh la la la. I LOVE this one AND the picture. I am seeing many poets not rhyming both syllables, but for me, I think it's much better to do complete rhymes on the two syllable words and am glad to see you did it that way. I tried to catch up on Soupmails to you, so be sure to see them all!!!

Gregory Richard Barden
Date: 1/29/2018 10:15:00 PM

Thanks so much, Andrea, I agree with you, (about the complete words rhyming) ... I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one, as it was my first stab at this form. I have read all your soupies and will reply them all soon! :-) <3

I've got tingles, I do, and I like them! Could stare at the picture for a good while and be perfectly content, then read the poem which matches perfectly. A combo delight, Greg! All the best ... CayCay
