    My cats like your poem, Dr. Reddall. :) "Lrow-Lrow" and "Reh-eh-eh-eh" (But they won't give up any secrets.) Beautiful painting.

    What a question to consider! Wonderfully wrought, D.J.!

  • I wonder if the person on the bridge is considering suicide and why are they naked, lol. Loved your poem!
