Oh, my, you sent me to the east and then suddenly to the west, and I'm having trouble arriving anywhere - I think my reactions are south and north divided! I'm being seriously silly because your monoku is thought provoking which, I believe, is always a good thing. Andrea's right, we poets took this contest prompt in different directions and your is an individualistic insight, very good ... CayCay

How guilty we can feel when we laugh, though in mourning. You have basically illustrated a very human condition, Paula. I used to love M.A.S.H. and you have just described precisely why that program worked. Terry

Love this, "written by human poet ...." Maybe we should make that an acronym WBHP, and all use it. Just great, Paula, so right on for this day and age. CayCay
