The Knack
Would that those who had come to pen their thoughts and dreams without chagrin had stayed around much longer when their peers chimed in. Their peers chimed in to help with some critiqued advice and hoped suggestions would suffice to polish gems that shined like ice which would be nice. What would be nice if all the folks who left came back into Mosaic’s little shack to show their expertise or lack but want the knack. They want the knack. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Hi Daniel,
Glad to see you back with pen in hand. I should say "for shame" with your last entry. I don't think you have written one of these since you wrote "Grace Oh’s Us Art" exactly 11 years ago tomorrow. Revisiting the rules - Mono-tetra is aaaa, bbbb, cccc, etc. You may have forgotten. I guess you could call what you wrote Bi-tetra and get by with it.
