Have a wonderful day!

S.Yocom: I recently finished writing a book called Elements and Styles of Poetry, with Rules and Examples." It gives the rules for each element and style and shows a poem that I wrote in that style, 130 poems in all.
Hooray! I have a publisher.

Big news - I learned today that I have won Mensa's national award for poetry! It was a happy surprise.

5-7-5 An Introspection In Seventeen Syllables Moments I Have Lived
I have found it rather amazing that an existence of time can be expressed in such few words and yet provide a specific and definitive explanation.

Great reviews:
Raw with emotion - love and pain, regrets and hope, truth and tragedy. It touched me at points, made me choke up.
