  1. Hi Jim,
    great senryu!
    They got it right, Theodora, Stacey, inkwell whispers, the odd inkwell.... we are all one in the same. ;)
    The odd inkwell and Theodora are for my cooler, edgier poet fans.

  4. That's quite the fancy jewelry, Jim. Is this the prelude to a seance?

  5. Jim, it makes one wonder who has the better riches ...the one who passes on or the one who remains with worldly goods...enjoyed the thoughts you sent my way:)

  8. You have me thinking about how our things outlast us on this earth; I suppose their greatest value is as reminders of love.

  15. Oh Jim, this is lovely. I really liked your picture. That and your wonderful words paint your thoughts so well. Love it.
    Took me this long to find out how to post my poem. I am such a dummy.

  16. Very clever how you left the inheritance ambiguous. What jewels does that chest hold?
    Wishing you a wonderful vacation!
