Re: Praying for a thunderstorm
Hello from California. Closest thing to thunder here is at the beach. We're driving back to my home state of Minnesota on a month-long trip where they know how to do a thunderbanger up right with torrents of rain---or so I remember. You've captured those not-so-dry dry spell well.

Dinner
Dinner Bixby Bridge unfurls. Beneath, land gives way to inlet sea. The trail rolls on, hills unfold. The clouds ahead do not change. Two brothers share color crayons in the dining car. The waiter inquires if we have further needs. https://poetrycircle.com/forum/attachments/1716484859433-jpg.41935/

Dearly Beloved
I want to say this straightforwardly, in plain words, not an easy task when the subject is abstract. I strung pink lights between my palm trees, solar powered, and made a sign that leans against the center tree that says: keep the lovelight burning, decorations for Valentine's Day. My way of demonst...

I suppose congrats are in order
I just caught sight of Tracy Mitchell on my facebook page in a bar-cheating on us. He's had a poem published. He has some splaining to do.

Re: Aunt Lucille
Thank you, Dave. I think now the family would not have made everything contingent on her "getting better". Now I would hope we'd have told her we loved her the way she was and admired how courageously she faced her life of extreme difficulty.
