hiya, thanks. i think this is the only one i've ever written.
some people are very good at it. i'm not, but this was, i thought, the only way to really make the poem say what it had to say and be noticed.
i've been busy today, so i haven't had a chance to do much on here. i was making some bricks, but i ran out of concrete! i'm hoping i didn't make them too wet, but i thought i had another bag. nope, figures! oh well. haven't made any since last fall. cold weather is not good for concrete.
