I love your stories Randy.
This one is true, and I say with great applause,
thank you Charlie F Johnson too!

You work hard Randy, you work and you evaluate life
in many different arenas from close by and from perhaps from afar.

Mode often utilized as data set in stats that appear most often, require the sifting through stories of incongruent
behaviorism, that seldom seem to grasp the attention
of a large populace enough to ever matter.

But you say, nay, we all see this in our everyday.
And its certainty surrounds us / like hay, said Monet.
Just like haystacks and their shadows, that people
wonder about in an impressionist painting,
is how you write.

Charles did well with what he was given!
God Bless him and his whole family too!

Peace!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
