Very well expressed Don! You have filled in the blanx for Do.Ro.Thy here. This was one of those short pieces I originally posted on Instagram, then I thought I would try the style here for something presented a bit differently.

Should I brake...stop, 'fore continuing?
Is there something that I may have missed?
If I don't pause but just keep on driving
I might miss something I'd not have wished

Is this what you were trying to say Ruth, or have I gone off on my own interpretive tangent?.....

Have you seen Simon Cowell lately? It was his 60th bday last week and he has had so much surgery done, that now he does look like a psycho. Don't go down that route Don

Let your words keep you handsome!

Simon's worth x million
I see my name in lights

For WOL Syco delights

Ah Fred Happy Belated Birthday, it wasn't too many weeks ago, when was it? Apron and cookbook is not that bad seeing as she was a chef, but if you had got one other Non essential/practical that would have been perfect ( big virgo trait). Thanks for reading

Hey Chrystel

I'm doing well. Thalia and I are bonding like a rocket. She even revealed an unknown talent to me today. Choreography consultant to Edna 1 and 2 (see post Edna - Stavely Makepeace 1970). What will she come out with next ?

First I thought 'fervid' was a typo. Look it up first Don before you put your foot in it. I'm glad I did. Yes, fervid sounds better . Shows your 'educated'.....?

It's funny but before I'd even read Graham's comment I thought how lovely and refreshing your profile writeup was. A poet who's actually interested in how other people think and create. Not everyone is and you meet many on the poetry scene who aren't there to listen at all.

Thanks for commenting on my poem Tom. I very much enjoyed your Cooling Towers poem - a relationship poem with some depth and originality.

Listening to the profile tune and got a bit lost. Enjoyed the melody, tempo and your voice. Are you also the instrumentalist? If so, great delivery. If no, still good. Some things don't come immediately. Would you agree Michael?

Creasote is the word I hear you say. It's used to preserve wood utility poles. I believe it is deemed poisonous here in Western WA. I just now see there is a medicinal creasote bush that provides a resin for the wood preservative. Wow, I am still learning stuff. Never heard of a creasote bush before a few minutes ago.

Kinda feel it is a love song, but haven't figured out how. I got stuck on preserved poles and medicinal bushes. Maybe, just a little more time. ?

They say Greeting Cards are out of date
obsolete in this fast-paced world
but homemade cards are still special
when made by children
in some of their first Acts of Creation.

There is poetry
in children's art
and those who receive
always support
No mystery
right from the start
their creating comes
straight from their heart.

A fine treatise Ray!

But if I might make so bold, you have made a serious omission, which requires another stanza.
