Ah, the sonic goodness in this poem is delicious: "tasting settled vestiges and digesting", "the bubbles ‘n' splash speak of gathering fish". And what a sad and distressing and profound phrase... "The brilliance of the extinct"
Congratulations to you for “Dodo”, your most recently published poem!! I love your conception of the creative process as appreciation for a metaphorical school of koi, each one an idea💡 swimming in our minds. I, too, long to “set the cats to purr” so we can get back to daydreaming of one fish, two fish, novel fish, short story fish 🎣 ….
Thank you, Frank, for your enduring song of friendship, sung here in a new verse, so golden, warm, enchanting. I'm grateful for your vision and your vibrant presence in this world. My memories of your smile, your music, your words and your creations, energize my courage.
Thank you, Heather. What a joy it is to receive your specific praise. I have been heartily admiring the soundscape of your poetic songs.
Your expression of gratitude is beautiful, and I echo your words here in my appreciation of your writing and song catching: Thank you for sharing your talents!

Thank you for the lovely poem and the story to go with it. I can see you clearly in both, my deep-sighted and courageous old friend.

My favorite line (although it is difficult to choose): "silvered circle moon scales dance under lily pads"
I was drawn to the alliteration and rhythm of it.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
