"It's 10 in Tuscon! We all know what that means... It's Time for Midnight Snacks with your man, Gerald Gee! Ready to spend the night together? Me too! I'm full of snacks and can't wait to regurgitate them all back into your hungry ears. Crack a brew! Pop some corn! Anything to get ready for one hell of a show where the talk maybe cheap but the words cut deep...

Oh my. This is beautiful. Well done, buddy.
Oh my stars! (Sorry) this is fantastic, Paul! The grandiosity of the abyss that screams endlessness and the dancing stars that will expire funneled down into the image of a breath really is stunning! This is a new favorite of mine
Oooo, I especially loved the second line!
I love the personification of the stars Paul, beautifully done!!
Abyss is a great word choice! I like the word anyhow, but fits very nicely here. The James Cameron film I like too lol. Well done. 😄
Impressive… great contrast ✅
dance on!
I'm so in love with the title!! Really caught my eye (well, both of them, lol). Feels so wonderfully vast. Fantastic piece!
This one is powerfully packed. Well done, Paul.
I fell a deep connection to your ‘Sky-ku’ and I think you will understand why with my own. I look forward to returning tonight (Brisbane Australia time) and treading the others. Phew now that the ‘Sky-ku’ time for entries come to an end!

This one is deep in meaning and emotionally wrought
This is a comparison that only a few could write and you are one of them.
