I really like this, Makera. Deceptively "simple" lines. Almost proverbial in the "authority" they carry.

Humble thanks,

To Lizzytysh & Vesuvius for your perspicacious critiques.

Confession: I had to 'edit' when I noticed I'd transposed 2 lines in my own
poem. Minor,even imperceptible, detail. But you gotta 'learn' before you can 'teach', right? :wink:

Good point, Makera, on the reality of it. For the poem, however, it seems [looking at the change] to actually work both ways. I have to look up "perspicacious" now, since I've finally conquered its pronunciation. OK. Done. However, reading its definition, I realized I have looked it up before. Can't recall where I first encountered it, but know it was somewhere here. Obviously, not a word one quickly makes a part of their everyday vocabulary, but it sure says a lot once it is used. By the way, you're welcome :D .
