    Hi! S.W.
    Yes. It's shorter than most comments but manages to take a swip at some of the foul language I read here. I liked it too.
    Thanks for writing.

    !!!!

    if and buts were candy and nuts!!!
    I really liked this poem. I also read
    LANGUAGE, it reminded me that the foundation fo rall cultures is langauge. So whether intended or not i was getting taht you tooo feel as though your culture is evolving if not evading you. I look upon the picture of you reading ant the poetry club with envy. Shyness keeps me from ding the same.
    Bravo thanks for sharing~

    I've been a bit erratic with reponses lately. Sorry.
    I'll try and have a scan of your work soon. Meanwhile thanks for peaking at mine. I hope to add a few more before the old year runs out.

    adj. terser, tersest
    Brief and to the point; effectively concise: a terse one-word answer.
    [Latin tersus, past participle of tergre, to cleanse.]
    Unfortunately my poem had to have ten words not one LOL but I believe it was quite terse!
