> I was really tuned to the theme of this Luketh~~>it had "A Seperate Piece" feel to it. Your illustration was excellent. Loved the poem! Advice: good-looking did not seem to fit. "Slowly, now, pondering aptness of word" was a great set up that begs to be followed by an equally imaginative closure. Again,,I thought it tremendous. Good luck, man. :)

A Campfire, Laughter, and Contemplation
>
> The stones are slippery along the stream
> The tree branches crack when stepped upon
> Sometimes the leaves are hard to gather
> And the fire can take a long time to ignite
>
> There is a circle of happiness and community
> When the silent request is for a moment broken
> The crystal laugh shatters in the downy water
> And swims away with comedy--beautiful legs
>
> I write this all down so it will not be gone
> Quickly, at times, so the laughter is plain
> Slowly, now, pondering the aptness of word
> To describe the sighting of a good-looking bird
