Good morning, Kate and Nancy:
So nice hearing from you, Kate, and welcome to the forum!
I appreciate your comments, though you are not a poetry person. I haven't a clue why, but since childhood I never could just say something in an ordinary way. Give me a word or phrase and I'm shooting for the outer reaches.
Are you familiar with the term "prose poetry"? That's what my stuff tends toward.
Have a wonderful day, new friend. . . .
