Something I Can Touch

I don't always get your literal direction ~ though worth reflection

your margins may be quite narrow ~ but you always shoot a straight arrow

searching for something tangible to feel ~ may not lead to a reveal

Many trues, in your Monokus, Lin. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us through your poetry, my friend. Bill

Thanks for reading me, Bill. Sorry this was so delayed.

Lin, this could apply to a lot of work that we all try to decipher. At least we're trying and not getting too upset if we're missing a point. It might not be our fault exactly.

Yes, it could, Duke. Forgive my late response.

Thanks, Jan. It's kind of a conglomeration of thoughts... mine and David's. Just a fun thing.

I’m only seeing this one now Lin and it rings a bell with our comments on my narrow margins post, I’m glad you said (may not) rather than (definitely won’t), I do like tangible evidence, but am also open to abstract persuasion, your second monoku is right on the mark, cheers David

None of those are just right for you. I know your face, so no mask. lol You don't need a disguise, just bring your quiver.

Perhaps I should get a Robin Hood Avatar, nah he’s too clean cut for me, Captain Ahab with a harpoon hmmm! That could work lol!

Hi David, I'm glad you found it. It's all based on your 'Narrow Margins.' Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Opinions change and even if they don't, who's to say one is right and the other wrong? I was addressing you directly, Straight Arrow. Just don't expect me to get you a mask and a costume... although that would be pretty cool.
