I am Robert James Liguori.  I have authored several technical books including The Java Pocket Guide.  I have spent twenty years in the aviation community doing software development and testing.  Currently, I'm spending my time writing poetry trying to make a small, yet positive difference in this world... one word at a time.

Here's a soup mail to me from Milton, he was always so kind and friendly and always so optimistic!  He will be missed....

 

Robert -- There's nothing at all wrong with your brain! You have enormous talent, and I enjoy your poetry and your contests. Now, pick a letter. Go to the dictionary or a thesaurus and find all the words (preferably some that rhyme) and write a line or two or three or four. I could only put together four lines. See what you can do. You might want to take a look at my poem "Not So Friendly Discussions." If you like any of those idea, and I can help, then you have my permission to work with them.

C'mon, it's all in fun! --your Kentucky friend, Milt

That is quite some poem, Milt used as an exercise. It is a true playing with his mind and words almost like a meditation and cleverly it is an Abcedarian as well as an alliterative masterpiece. Thanks for sharing this interaction with us James. Your friend, SuZ
