I love your poems Mary!

Your train poem is very good at projecting simple emotions. I feel like I am on that train with you. As it turned out, I was actually on a train to NY as I was reading it, so that made it an even better experience.

I love the Bill and Wine poem as well. Take a trip and never leave the farm. That is very good for a wine poem.

And I especially love the ode to the painting. I have been on a kick of paintings with accompanying poems ever since I did some study on Japanese art. I have done it for my recent paintings because it keeps me in the right mood and emotion of the painting, rather than getting swamped with the technical aspects of painting. Just today I was conceptualizing a painting like Cezanne. The thought was 3D for parts of the painting and other parts flat, which this Klimt painting is another example of that. So just as I get a train poem while riding a train, I get a poem about a painting done in a composition that I am currently studying.

Given all the parallel thinking going on, perhaps you send me a poem about winning lottery numbers, because I think it will pay me to play.

Your spurt of creativity also has helped motivate me to do a poem about my dog Otis. I had to put him to sleep about a month ago. I wanted to write a poem about him, but I have been too upset to start. I am going to use your burst of poems to get me over the hump, so thank you for that.
