Thanks, Parker.  

A life full of holes ... for shame. Those holes are plugged with all sorts of intriguing of bits and bobs.

It's ok to not write much at one time  You can say a lot with few words.   

Thanks, Val.

Aww... thanks, Adi. That means a lot.  

Hmm, I'm torn for a new word to describe you....poet isn't suitable in my opinion because the genre is so often a hodge-podge of things you can't classify.  Blank verse to elegiacs...rhyming couplets to work-a-day song lyrics.  
No, where is the hint of skill and craft in that four-letter label?  Lessee, 'wordsmith'?  infers much hard labor and tortuous toil for  a result...and that's often true, but dulls the sense of beauty and joy these works provide....
I think I prefer 'word-wright', as that implies a long-learned skill and artistry that appears lacking in the smith.  I like to think of poems as crafted things much like a painting with words, or a vessel to convey our emotions from one person to another.

Okay--let's give a cheer for our Gary, respected Northern Wordwright!

Wordwright? I am humbled, and you are a sweet man who I respect greatly. Thank you, dear friend... your support lifts me up, and you define poems perfectly, in my opinion.
