Poetry

  If you’re American: Thank you very much
  In all other cases: (please) keep on keeping on (Curtis Mayfield)
  Kind regards, Gus

  Powerfully penned, Lizz. Excellent write nicely transformed into lyrics my friend. It’s the little differences between the two that gives them each their own personality, while mirroring each other’s point in substance. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

  First reading of your predicament, super sorry to read of this. But hopefully your surgeries are successful and we get a new Paula with a totally new poetic vision.

    Thanks! I have been doing variations on the random word challenge that you can do on this site. One of my poet friends gave me lantern, velocity, threshold, and moss. And those words just sung to me.
