  1. I enjoyed your finale to April. Poem 29 really hit me, forced me to read it several times. Poem 26 tickled my senses; I felt the cool, saw the colors, smelled the grass and earth. That was lovely. Poem 28 made me smile. And of course, Poem 30 is an awesome note to oneself. Thanks for all your encouragement .
  2. I enjoyed reading these found poems. They spoke in interesting voices and patterns.

    Day 26 - Day 30

    What Might Have Happened If? really resonated with me; it's one of those questions that haunts me over and over, and you deal with it so wisely and concisely. That is the beauty of your poetry. Like Gary and Dolores, I liked Blue very much. I felt the breeze and the cool of the white railing. The Way It Is has an infectious energy about it that I must admire. Calm Down has a deep, authoritative voice in its brief way; and I love how the mirror ends The Gambler. Thanks for all of your poems this month, Adi.
  4. 1. I'd paste in the problem that's gotten the most queries, but the formatting doesn't seem to work...
  5. Thank you for posting this. It's true - and you inspired me to tell one of my colleagues something good that I hope made his morning.
  6. Good morning, everyone. Doing tutorials on methods of integration this morning. Would much rather be writing...

    This is a poem beautiful in love, blessing and peace. It’s an embrace in four stanzas.
  8. Hey, Gary. Up late doing homework and writing poetry
  9. Hello everyone. What’s for dinner? “Math homework,” said the dog..,
  10. I enjoyed this snippet of their lives. Eric and Nelson really did luck out with great sets of parents. Thanks for this Sunday treat.

    I enjoyed this chapter very much. I really liked seeing CJ weaving a net around Brad. Not every returning vet has that, and it’s a scandal. The arrival of Owen’s brother gives us a chance to see how much interesting change we’ve seen since this series began. Thanks for another great one.
  12. Numbers 22 and 24 are awesome. They connected with me right away. Cats are not liquid, yet they often move with liquid grace. Your characterization of Certainty is spot on. Number 23 made me want to start up a conversation with the albatross, though perhaps he’d prefer if I didn’t. The strategic retreat in Number 21 was really well illustrated. Number 25 certainly expressed the tragedy of what can befall poetry.
  13. Thank you for bringing them back together. There is nothing so good as lovers’ reconciliation. Except what what they do at home afterwards, maybe.

    Trust

    You write Wren’s change of mind and heart very well; you make me want to be like Charles, who just won’t let the brokenness go without trying to mend it. But now I want to know what happened with Wren’s father.
  15. This is an excellent post, worth meditation and consideration. Thank you.
  16. By the way, I’m guessing Aditus.
  17. I’m enjoying it!

    I enjoyed reading them very much!

    Day 21 - Day 25

    So glad you did not give up. Your translation experiment was awesome. Neanderthal and Not got to me. You’re right, he wouldn’t get a second look on the bus. You characterize doubt very well. And words mock me constantly. You wrote some gems, Adi.
  20. Good morning! Lovely morning so far. Hope everyone’s day is going well.
  21. Jed’s beast provides a great deal of tension in this chapter. He must work very hard to keep from taking Franklin, yet his behavior is remarkably odd enough to keep that young man away in the future. Meanwhile, what Wolfgang uncovers makes things curiouser and curiouser... great chapter!
  22. Then my heart is happy, too.

    Not Boyfriends

    Loved this chapter. The not-boyfriends could love life and be fantastic neighbors, if not for the greedy malicious pigheaded uncles. Game cameras are an interesting idea; here and I was thinking about bear traps.

    Thank you for this chapter. It’s good to see new generations on the horizon. CJ and Owen will be amazing parents - most kids wouldn’t be able to keep up with them. Watch out, world.
