  1. Exactly so, except that I can't figure out if there are any rules about using them, and I believe I may overdo it. Did they somehow replace parentheses?
  2. Just keep believing that, and you can't go wrong!
  3. Wow! As you know, it takes me weeks to write anything worth posting, and you were able to write every day for a month! You are both an inspiration to me and a pain in the ass because I know I can't do what you do. 😃
  4. How fitting that you wrote April 24 on my 77th birthday! The words are engraved in my mind and, now, printed on fine paper to be framed and displayed next to my bed. Getting old is not for the young-hearted!
  5. I actually leave the Christmas lights up all year long -- I just call them "party lights" the other months! I shed a tear when I read "one more sweet embrace divine." The one I love is slipping away to dementia, but I'll always remember the "joys prostatic" we shared for so many years. How I long for a "walled garden of love!" One question: is "Abhean" a reference to Irish mythology or Star Wars?
  6. I'd love to try it!
  7. This has to be the first recipe-in-a-poem that I've ever seen. As each ingredient went into the pot, I grew hungrier and more ready to head for the kitchen and cook up something similar.
  8. I loved the variety in these poems (length, meter, structure). Your words flow and created vivid pictures in my mind! Not so sure what all the math stuff was about, but then I've struggled with dyscalculia my whole life. I trace my handicap back to "The New Math" from Yale University that was taught (or rather, attempted to be taught) when I was in Jr High. The teachers didn't seem to be comfortable with it, and they couldn't convey it in a way that I, being right-brained, could fathom. I finally mastered enough of the fundamentals to handle my own budget and taxes.
  9. Never have I ever used cocaine (Just to be picky, I think you grow coca, which is chewed or manufactured into cocaine. 😐)
  10. sourced externally
  11. grass up (Brit slang for ratting on someone)
  12. flowers bloom
  13. sybarite debauchery
  14. We do not choose cats. Cats choose us (and they can be very picky!). 😼
