Hi, Teddy

I love minimalist poetry. There is much I've tried to say to my grandchildren through poetry, but actually this covers it.
Thank you for reading and commenting!

Surprise...

I am constantly surprised by the ingenuity of your work. I am on the edge here. If it had been any other day or maybe even any other person, I'm sure that my reaction might have been much different. I won't say that I don't know how, because I do. If you understand that, then you will understand how I am on the edge. ~ Geezer.

Dear Lavender

Not sure I would call this poetry, but I would least you've spoken out loudly with two words.
Thumbs up dear.

Hi, Jerry

Ha, ha! And Telemachus would be correct - JerryK is one of the finest story-tellers, too! But I'm glad we all aren't driven by the same muse in the same poetic direction. There would be no diversity and we would learn nothing.
Thank you for reading!
