Thanks for the shoutout and the kind words! I love Memories hearing you read it makes me realize how mesmerizing your cadence is. It feels like being gently hypnotized and walked back through my own memories. It’s a great poem.

Autocorrect changed “Remember” to Memories somehow when talking about your poem’s title. My big fat fingers 🤣

Such wholehearted Maker energy, Brian. Great poem. This one will definitely keep the creative conversation running. And the fish hook lines are mighty fine. 🙌

Brian, what a masterful presentation of your process.

Yes, teacher, I will subscribe to Jason and I will get back to crafting, with joy.

I teased you about waiting for the process; definitely worth the wait!🌱

I’m glad it resonated! This was “one” of those work weeks where the full-time job was a little extra-time, so it took a few extra days to pull it together. Thank you for reading! ✨

Wonderful, and full of wonder and inspiration. I appreciate you putting these breakdowns out as separate posts so that one can sit and think on the words from the poem.

Thanks for the link to Jason's page, too. The Haiku and the art that goes with it are so good.
