Not a cross word to be said. Yet your words build a fortress in my head. Stones not to throw but to use and build a writer’s career . Best of your poems Paul.
Will do - My prescription from 4-6 years ago is almost perfect, but still a bit too strong. I have optometrist visit scheduled for month's end and I' should Know where we are at by then.
I never crossed that bridge, but these you built each day with your words I dare to cross, and I must admit that the view is quite breathtaking. Thank you, Paul!
Thank you for sharing your poem, Thomas. Cairns are often thought of as markers and memorials, piled atop the earth from which they came, but they always point upward, skyward, to something transcendent.
Yeah, it’s an AI image but the poem itself was the prompt used to create it. It was 1 of 2 renderings and I chose it because it represents both cairn and bridge

Thank you for the encouragement, Richard!
Reading is the Portal to the Multiverse, Paul
Reading is the portal to everywhere and every when
“Everywhen” should be a word.
Yes, “elsewhen,” too’
Definitely
Do not forget to read between the lines too. . .
A I generated picture. Awesome. You are an inspiration.
I used the text of the poem to generate the image. It was 1 of 2 and I picked this one because it is both bridge- and cairn-like
Wise choice.
Another great image! 👏🏻👏🏻 And wonderful words, of course.
Thank you, Bonnie - Good to hear from you!
Welp, I have a Cairn Terrier. Always been fascinated by cairns of all kinds.
Remember reading is fundamental.
Thanks for reading, Stan!
Perfect💙
Thank you, Diane - Sight seems to be much better—Thank You!
Great! Protect eyes from windy grit—sunglasses!

Good💙
I will! I just subscribed:) Beautiful.
Thank you, Anu, and Welcome!
The view is striking!
Thank you, Fotini. It's an AI-generated image but I think it turned out well

Thank you for the generosity of your words, Fotini!
I like it!
Thank you, Leon—Nice to hear from you again!
On that bridge with these words, Paul.
We can all be on that bridge, Patris!
A wonderful image in words and words of an image.. excellent.
Thank you, David, I appreciate your comment.
Well, there’s a coincidence. I wrote a (different) poem called “Cairn” some years ago - it won me a minor competition (it’s here if you’re interested: https://www.mountaineering.scot/assets/contentfiles/pdf/mwc2005poetry1.pdf). Meantime, I like your poem!
Thank you for sharing your poem, Thomas. Cairns are often thought of as markers and memorials, piled atop the earth from which they came, but they always point upward, skyward, to something transcendent.
A good thought!
A poem that leads to the world of its’ author. That is a great place to be. Daniel
Thank you, Daniel. Nice to hear from you again!
Fantastic -- and that image!

Yep, a clever AI rendering.
Thanks to @Darienne for sharing this-I’m grateful!
