Thank you. Such comments are encouraging. This poem actually has a few years on it. I've decided, finally, to do something with my efforts. Who knows...maybe I've got sometning that needs to be shared. Later.

I am going to plug my address book into 'urban fiction'. Most are avid readers and would appreciate a heads-up about emerging Black writers. They've been very supportive of my efforts.

Might succumb to the complexity,
Of a musical cat and a fiddle;
Still, I applaud the rhymer,
Who should duly take the bow,
To think a strange thought,

Stacy Baby said… - Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.htmlhopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!
