You are too kind, Greg. I’m just another guy sitting in his backyard, writing poetry. 🙂

  Sir please I must ask
  What inspires your writings? Reason I ask is most times I find myself lost in between words.

    I don’t have an easy answer to that. I’m curious – I like to know how and why things work, how they occur. So I ask many questions. Poetry helps me frame the questions, often leading to more questions, and on occasion assists in finding answers.

        I have far more questions than answers! I’m glad to have been of some help.

Intriguing … you left me in a quandary … which side to be on when I close the door. (Yes, I know it’s a choice … a likely less-than-choice choice either way.)
