You're very good.

Thank you for saying. I'm sure your poems are more than a match for my own. Have a great day. Jon

Thank you for saying. Have a great day.

I actually wrote this one just for you, just now, just to show you I can do it.

Some might call me a cheater,
Some think my work could be neater,
But I don't care,
My work has flare,
Who needs an Anapestic Meter!!!

Sorry to annoy you. I know the metric but as I've said before I do what sounds right rather than is the formulaic construction. If I wanted to live by rules I would be a prison guard.

I'm sorry to hear that but glad this made you smile.

I made a choice that I was not going to feel sorry for myself. I was going to be productive and try to make others smile everyday.

So do I but crying about it won't bring it back.
