    Doh! Now a tercet. What's that when it's 'at home', as they say?!
    Is poetic ignorance of styles, forms, etc, bliss to me? lol.

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      LOL! Thank you for reading, engaging, and as always, successfully getting me to laugh...the best medicine!

        Oohh, I can't be understanding 'tercets' at this time of the morning, just waking up, with me brain cells. I only got 3 ya know! lol.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Indeed. My apologies! A tercet can be quite terse on the mind, especially early in the morning! 🤣
