Smooth but, will one sabbath do? After what we've all been through these past few months...I think we might need several days to wind down. Enjoyed this well penned piece.

Great job here Gershon. Love it. I have found that the best way to write is NOT to TRY to write but to wait for it and let it come to you. God Bless, JB

You know, Judy, I don't want to wait that long, i.e., until it comes to me... so I just hold my breath 'til a poem comes along. No wonder my writes make people (turn) blue! Thank you so much! :) gw

Yup. I think when we kick back, we refresh, regain perspective, and sometimes find new avenues of expression. Thanks, Andrea. Cheers, Gershon

Ah, you have consoling conversations with your muse, most of the time I can’t even find mine. I enjoyed your clever poem, Gershon. Cheers, john

Ha, ha! My Muse plays Hide-and-Seek with me! Good thing I'm an ex-teacher with at least three sets of eyes to spot him! Thanks, John. Beat wishes, Gershon

No Muse?! -- That would be a not-so-amusing development, I guess. Here's to your Muse, Jennifer! :) gw

A beautiful write! Your muse looks like was well rested before you wrote this. Keep going my friend!
