"Sweet n' Simple" sounds good to me, Joe! Complicated leads off to more complexities, then one will fall off track. Stay well, keep happy, and be your own wonderful self! Love, Mikki

Well said, Joe. I prefer to read poems that don't have words I have to look up in a dictionary. I'm seeing a lot of the "true" you lately and am happy to get to know you through poetry. Love, Carolyn
