    L Bro - Do me a favor and drop a comment to the post for our Rachel re; 'Ode to Rachel Deeming'...She isn't as witty as you but I know she would appreciate the gesture. J-Bro

    Hi Lamar, I feel a deep connection with you're ‘Sky-ky.’ I have a daily practice of photographing the sky to manage my mental health. Feel absolutely no obligation but my ‘Top Story’ - ‘My urban forest’ will help you understand why this so. (You may have already read because I can become unwell and am slowly returning reciprocal reads) With kindness Pauline 🌸 https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/my-urban-forest%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

  • Lacy Loar-Gruenlerabout a year ago

    I love how you transpose color in art and words that cannot describe the emotion. Lovely, Lamar!

  • Raymond G. Taylorabout a year ago

    Color of awe! A better description I cannot imagine. The sky reflects every color, no color (pure white light) no colour, the loveliest of signature blues, as well as the illustrated diffracted colors or the rainbow. You have summed this all up in just 17 syllables. Masterful. This ought to be in the winners line-up. Really well done Lamar. Great choice of illustration too.

  • Words cannot begin to describe how beautiful that photo is. You captured that perfectly in your Haiku!
