This forms a very concrete image in my mind. It's a pleasure to read and thanks for that gift.

Thank you, so much, Duke. I'm glad it gave you a concrete image. I am mostly a sound poet, so I am glad you got the image from my description. Carol Louise

Very good! I saw a monk when I was traveling to Arizona.

Thank you, Kim. This was a Monk in Taiwan that my son met when he traveled there. Carol Louise

Thank you, Andrea. I've got a few more that I'll post. This Monk was in Taiwan, a photo of him. I guess that makes the poem an ekphrastic, as well. Carol Louise
