Wow! I never heard painting by the numbers explained as well as this:

"reckoning nature
is a sum of parts"



that is brilliant.

Good stuff.

Long over due a comment on this, congratulations on the October highlight. You have come a long way from joining this forum for the anagram poems and certainly rank as a poet in your own right. After the recent discussion you have captured this very well here.

Beautiful. I loved every word, every image, every beat.

And I loved the spin on numbers and the universe. It conjured thoughts of Fibonacci, and the flawless,perfectly numerical systems we see replicated in nature all the time.

Bravo, encore.

Hello Neil,

I liked this very much. The simplicity is inviting but also idea of the whole being a sum of the parts can be so universally understood.
Yes, I concur, you have bloomed since you arrived. And I am glad you found PG. You are a wonderful addition to the mix of styles and creativity.

Very well put together.
Suzanne
