   I love the shape you have done this in. Brilliant poem, and very well done. (Not that I am a critic of course)

     Thanks – glad you enjoyed! Funny thing is the basic shape actually happened by accident – or rather without conscious design. I decided to center the poem and the lines on the page just before posting and went “HEY!”
     I then tweaked it slightly to smooth out the look.

   While I know I’ve got you somewhere – I’ve finally bookmarked your place so I can find you again! Thanks to Cookiedmouse. I’ve played around with some shape poems on my long verse site…Let me see if I can find you one…

   I’ve a few others, too, but I don’t have them all in one place. Might be a project to put all the shape poems in one place…if and when I find the time.

   Be well. Cheers.

     Thanks Jules! I do the same find a blog I enjoy and then lose track as I had more blogs to my list of ones to read. So many delightful writers to read. Glad you dropped by and reminded me how to find my way back to your postings.

       I’m not to adept at ‘Computerese’ but I figured out how to make more than one bookmark list. And every once in a while I attempt to put them in alphabetical order.
       I need some kind of a file system that I can find blogs by 1)blog name 2)name the person replies with (which can be different) 3)if available e-mail. I don’t have a ‘smart phone either’ I’m thinking old fashioned – three 3 X 5 card file boxes
       Or at least three different computer files! Cheers – and thanks.
