Best Wishes, Rita Dove

Well, my mama didn’t raise a bean counter. I have better things to do — like trying to sit down and write a good poem, for example. (Rita Dove)

I have high hopes for the sitting-
Down part of your enterprise.
On the poem part I’m not betting.
Let’s just wait and see how it flies.

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
