Changing...
and ephemeral pleasures, are the product of fertile minds. A mind that is not used, becomes stagnant and useless. I se that you have found ways to keep actively engaging in the world of poetry. Your use of the many forms of poetry, are astonishing.
Good work! ~ Geezer.

Always enlightened
Great to have discovered a new format. Seems fairly restrictive and I dig your choice of words given the somewhat limited options.
