Gee, I'm thinking you may have hit some wild keys! There is no problem that
I am aware of. So hey, keep on!

Thanks

Robert,
I got a message saying that I requested to be removed from the list. It
further said that if I do nothing I will not be removed. It further said
that if I suspected malicious actions, I should contact the source of the
list.
At the moment, I do not suspect foul play, but rather, think perhaps I hit a
wrong key someplace, got up a wrong window, and something strange happened.
With my new system, I often cannot open things or get where I want to go.
For that reason, I have still not commented on a few persons contributions
that are pretty technical with directions and numbers.
If I have inadvertently offended anyone and they want me off the list, I
would appreciated just being told.

Those poems were really interesting and good. MM, thinking now of prose...I
wonder if there may be some pocket prose pieces that authors here could
share with the list? (Yeah, pocket prose.... excuse my diction, flash
fiction.)

Fellow Poets,
My assignment this week in my critique group was to select four short,
accessible poems, print and cut them  apart, and bring them to the senior
center to put in a large bucket on the sign in table. Since there 14 of us
in my class, if we each make ten copies of each poem, making 40 poems, that
it is quite a few that might convince a non-poet that it is a worthwhile and
enjoyable craft.
         I have enclosed the ones I printed and cut apart. I did not print
where they were published, and the amount of the award. That is just for
your information to give you an idea of categories, where you can send them,
and what you can earn.

Obituary                           

When I am settled down up there
I'll have myself a holy tear,
or when I'm fired up down there,
I'll surely make the Devil care.

But if I'm not invited in
because of godly grace or sin,
I'll plant myself in earth with men,
and grow to bud and bloom again.

The Trigger Points of Nature Do Not Lie

Our earth sheds its tears, gasps for air.
Our experts, denied, feel despair.
The oceans may die,
and forests don't lie.
Producers of carbon don't care.

String Theory Made Easy

It seems
I have a choice.
Become an entity
who's all unwound or one who's tied

Perhaps you all would like to try a short accessible poem for such a
purpose? Are there more than eight poets in our group?
Though the national deadline was today, Florida has done things like this
for the entire month of April.
