Oh so clever John - I enjoyed what you call your shock absorbers for your vintage car. Very sharp, it made me smile my humorous friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

You are so kind, dear friend. My little write was just a brief glimpse of me, but I know you also are a proponent of grace and humour in your writing and your friendship. God bless you ~ John

Haha! John, your clever and creative pen rolls with such a vivid metaphor! I adore and admire your poetic skill and keen wit in composing this fantastic poem. Your "humor and grace" never fails to make me smile, my dear friend. Keep your motor runnin'! :) Congratulations for your excellent win in Brian's contest.. ~Susan

Lol, sweet! "quill quilling!" Love that! :)) Though your poem has few words, it is vast in the quality and quantity of thoughts seeded by your artistic articulation!! - and then, of course, there is my verbosity... haha! :))

Susan, you are such a sweetheart to leave a comment that was five times as long as my poem! To be admired by a poetess of your talent and perception sends my heart into the stratosphere on gossamer wings of endearing affirmation. I will strive to keep my motor runnin' if you will keep your sensational quill quilling! Thank you, friend!

Congrats on your winner, John... and I'm wondering: Do your fill up your 'vintage car' with 'vintage fruit of the vine?!' Cheers, Gershon

John Watt

November 16, 2020 at 2:25 PM

That word 'vintage' does have other connotations doesn't it? I'll drink to that! L'Chaim! ~ the fiddler

I'd say your chassis is holding up very, very well! Cheers, Gershon
