Dante’s Wake
L. B. Mek said:

so many different elements to highlight in your perfectly measured dedication Jerry, but for me - in my naïve attempt to grasp at what hopeful tone I can excavate:
\'fierce brightness
take all over acheron\'
are the words I gravitate towards, that image of unyielding fierce loyalty - penetrating, that most bleak of rivers to let all know: at least this one boat harbours a love so intense, even its final passage glows defiantly bright,
just as those heart\'s it leaves behind with a shard of itself - imbued: so unshakeably-tight...

Dante’s Wake
Samer Amin said:

In spite of the horrific tragedy of this ordeal, I feel a strong pulse of admiration for his faithful wife, I wish I could find someone who would feel sorry for me whether I am alive or not.

This resonates with me Jerry as in two days time it is the first anniversary of my wife\'s demise.

Dante’s Wake
Robert Southwick Richmond said:

I don\'t know of any \"Carina\" in Dante Alighieri\'s writings - do I have the wrong Dante? - Carina is the Latin word for the keel of a ship - the contellation Carina was one of the smaller constellations the overlarge constellation Argo was broken up into. It\'s used metaphorically in anatomic terminology - the carina is the place where the trachea divides into the two main bronchi.

Contour of Gone
Robert Southwick Richmond said:

I learned the word calibrachoa just a few months ago, for a flower related to petunias. Introduced only within the last 30 years. Often called \"million bells\".

Named after a Mexican pharmacist-botanist, Antonio de la Cal y Bracho (1764-1833), so it should be pronounced kahl-ee-BROTCH-oa, but apparently the usual pronunciation is kahl-ee-bra-KO-a.

Merry Christmas
Samer Amin said:

It is so amazing, how you could, in a very concise way, make a kind of figurative similarity between the Spiritual Rebirth that we feel on Christmas, and the tree itself, which is still nude and pure, completely free from the Original Sin.

Renga with Linda
Jerry Reynolds said:

Can\'t take credit for it participation renga has been around for over a 1,000 years. They can be a lot of fun, challenging and go on sometimes for months. Somebody writes a three line Haiku, Senryu or Lune and someone else writes a two line stanza then another writes a three line stanza every fifth stanza mentions the moon. Give it a try you might like it. Here is a short seasonal start.

Odd isn\'t it that when man began to speak of god, he began to speak of evil at that time.

I try to let insects - especially wasps - out of bus windows, if I can. If I\'m on the bus of course, that is! lol.
