David, hi there! I’m not really a poet but I do like to play with it now and then.
Chappyswife, thanks for visiting AND for leaving a comment to let me know you came by. So many folks visit but don’t comment. Good to see you here.
Violet, when I discovered you were made Poet Laureate, I smiled. It’s so appropriate that you would be selected, my friend. YOU go, girl!
