A tip of the cap to Sandra Adams, who introduced me to the 'plus 1' form, in which each line is increased by one letter. See her poem, 'illness,' posted January 29, 2020. Thank you!

I am sad when folks' biases surface Why must folks deride peoples' cultural variances?

I think we have only seen the tip of this when it comes to others indiscretions . . .

Seems to me the iceberg's been around a long time, and that it's not affected much by global warming. Too bad...

When we generalize any peoples - all old people, all young people, all Irish people, all grandmas- we do a disservice to ourselves, showing ignorance.

Excellent job in this new form. Too hard for me, however. My brain won't stretch that far. Haha!

Oh, Jean... You don't have my permission to write anything negative about Jean Bush! You hear?! LOL. Thanks, Gershon

Love the form. We preach peace and understanding amongst cultures. There is more of it than we think. Despite the outbreaks of terror done by CRAZy people or those wit evil motives. As Americans, we need to laugh more and love each other more. Panagiota xx

I would love the credit but it's Brian Strand's invented form it was one of his recent blog contests. Love that you were inspired to write one in his form after reading mine ... Love this poem as well :) hugs

Thanks for letting me know that Brian came up with this ingenious form. Still, you introduced me to it. Thanks again! Best wishes, Gershon

This is a superb rendition of the form, Gershon. It carries a message that needs to be heard. Very nice! :)

Well, thank you, Judy! Credit for the form goes to Brian Strand for coming up with it and Sandra Adams for introducing me to it. Appreciate your support, my friend! Warm wishes, Gershon

Preach it, Gershon. More understanding results in peace on earth, one person at a time. Nice use of the form! ~ John

Gershon, I meant that only to mean "I completely agree" (perhaps "preach it" it is a localized dialect). LOL, you were not preaching, my friend! I'm in total support of your message and your means. Warm regards ~ John

Thanks, John. Appreciate your support. Don't mean to preach, though. (Not much of a fan of sermons). Thanks for calling it to my attention! Happy Sunday! Best wishes, Gershon
