A magical writ, Milt, appropriating choice words meaningfully. An indelible execution my friend, Aloha!

If this is a sijo, sign me up. I really enjoyed this!

I have no idea what a sijo is...other than the syllable and line counts. I have tried several of them but, of course, on here no one would dare tell me they are not sijos. I'd really like to read some of them, so I'm looking forward to the finish of the current contest.

Thanks so much, Kim. I've never really got the hang of the Sijo, so I hope I'm zeroing in on it. We'll see.

Not only have we polluted our planet but we are now starting on space. A nice reminder Milton...Delice

Unfortunately, this is true. I am told that there are hundreds of piece of space debris that actually cause our astronauts anxiety. I suppose some of them are coming back to earth...maybe almost daily. I don't know.
