Hi Daniel and Larry,  You seem to be all over the place! Nice septolets. I can't comment on all of the them, but I do feel like having a taste of those juicy watermelons, cantaloupes, the Russian salad and peas...mmm.... I also appreciate Larry's snide septolet about Hillary! Quite so... But what about The Donald? Thank God our elections are over and we may be heading in the right direction, at last. Tough year ahead, though, with all the corruption that has to be sorted out and, if possible, the money recovered from the criminals in the former government. Hope you keep going with these different forms. I followed your rather, er... naughty limericks...LOL. This thread also needs to be started again. A lot of the old entries should be archived. Never mind, Syl

Never mind, Syl Thanks for visiting, Sylvia. I'm glad that your elections are over there. I wish they were here! I'm pleased that you've looked in on our word play with each other. We always hope others will join us in the practicing. It really does help one be flexible. And every once in a while we produce something that has potential!

Syl Larry has already posted his response to the challenge, including in the critique section! I've only had a chance so far to barely get started dealing with it. deLighting in the heads-up, Daniel
