Enjoyed it, Rick. I also liked this one by Melissa Balmain, which I had missed earlier:

Very enjoyable, Rick! And I also love the picture: "Hokusai Meets Fibonacci with Numerical Sequence" by Ars Brevis. I think James was clever for thinking of it.

Thanks folks.

Martin, I really like that James Penha chose that image. It is the metaphor that closes the poem. I had assumed and more or less wanted a photo of an empty avenue in NYC. It was great to see something unexpected and perfect.

I second everything written above. Just wonderful work, Rick. I read it again and again, bathing in that lovely diction.
