OK. You wrote these in three minutes? It looks it. Most of them read like run on sentances.

I think that's his point, Yolanda. He's acknowledging these are not good poetry, yet they are no worse than what's been posted here as haiku or cinquain - or much of anything else. Plus, with effort, I've no doubt Michael could turn these
sentences into nice little gems. He has the ability to look critically at his own work, and analyze it objectively, unlike some who post work of this caliber, then defend, even praise it, in the face of informed criticism.
Michael has demonstrated his ability to write superb poetry, and proven his worth as a critter many times over, as opposed to the occasional newbie who appears, full of self-proclaimed expertise, wanting to tell everyone else how it's done without providing anything that demonstrates their own knowledge or ability.
And no, I don't lead the 'Michael Cantor Fan Club'.
He does *grin*.
